Abstract
An example device includes a mounting surface including a first material having a first coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). The device includes an intermediate plate coupled to the mounting surface and comprising a second material having a second CTE. The device includes a ferrite core coupled to the intermediate plate and comprising a third material having a third CTE, wherein the second CTE of the intermediate plate is between the first CTE of the mounting surface and the third CTE of the ferrite core.
