Abstract
In one implementation, a power unit for plugging into a mother board includes a power module situated on a substrate. The substrate is situated on conductive slats, each having an extended end away from the power module. Each of the conductive slats provides a mounting contact of the power unit. Each mounting contact is electrically coupled to the power module by electrical routing in the substrate. The mounting contacts are configured to provide electrical connection between the power module and the mother board.
