Abstract
A diode assembly having electrodes and a case assembled without soldering or crimping, wherein the electrodes are maintained connected to respective opposite faces of a diode chip by simple intimate contact of electrical and thermal conduction under the permanent action of a pressure exerted by an elastic element. The case is closed by a cover kept solidly in closing position by a simple wedging effect under a continuous thrust exerted by the elastic element.
Claims12
A diode assembly comprising at least one diode subassembly which includes:
- a diode chip having opposed faces,
- a first electrode and a second electrode in intimate electrical and thermal contact with a respective one of said opposed faces of said chip,
- a case in which said diode is mounted,
- a cover which closes said case, and
- an elastic element disposed in said case and which applies a permanent pressure action to maintain, on the one hand, said electrodes in intimate contact with said chip and on the other hand, the cover in a closed position.
