Abstract
A panel mounted power module is disclosed having an insulating housing and a conductive jacket. The insulating housing and the conductive jacket have corresponding flanges which oppose each other and are profiled to trap therebetween a panel. The power module includes a spring positioned between the insulating housing and conductive jacket, to spring load the flanges towards each other. The power module has at least one ground terminal and the spring commons the ground terminal and the conductive jacket together.
