A printed circuit board assembly comprising:
- a printed circuit board comprising an upper surface, a lower surface, and plated through-holes;
- a power connector that is arranged at the upper surface of the printed circuit board, the power connector comprising a plurality of pins extending through the plated through-holes, wherein the plurality of pins are configured to extend through the plated through-holes and protrude from the lower surface of the printed circuit board;
- and
- a heat spreading block provided at the lower surface of the printed circuit board, wherein ends of the plurality of pins are arranged in the heat spreading block.
A heat spreading block comprising:
- a body including:
- a flat top side comprising holes that extend partially through the body of the heat spreading block, the flat top side of the body being positionable on a printed circuit board, such that the holes are configured to receive pins of a power connector extending through and protruding from the printed circuit board;
- and
- a flat bottom side.
