A package for securing a PCB to a heatsink includes mounts with over-torque protection features. The PCB is seated in an open end of the package. Each mount includes a threaded opening for securing the package to the heatsink such that the base layer of the PCB is thermally coupled to the heat sink. The over-torque protection features are connected between the threaded opening and a sidewall of the package. The over-torque protection features may be designed to structurally fail and/or deform in response to over-torqueing of the fasteners, thereby inhibiting flexure of the PCB.
