Abstract
A method for mounting a component on an assembly is provided, such as to prevent shorting between a voltage plane and a ground plane that may be caused when the component fails and generates temperature rises that result in insulation failure. The method includes removing a section of one or more of the group including a ground plane and a voltage plane in an area of the component, where the area of the section is selected to prevent damage to the component that can be caused by shorting between the ground plane and the voltage plane if insulation failure occurs.
