Abstract
An electronic control module is provided wherein a power device is secured to a rigidizer, or heat spreader, such that a thermally conductive path is created for a conduction of heat from the power device to the rigidizer. A thermally conductive and electrically insulated interface , preferably anodized aluminum, is disposed between device and rigidizer and is solder bonded to each of the device and the rigidizer, facilitating the creation of a thermal path from the device to the rigidizer. In order to solder bond the device to the interface and the interface to the rigidizer, solderable coatings are respectively applied to the surfaces and of the interface and surface of the rigidizer.
