Abstract
An electronic assembly includes a semiconductor device mounted on a printed circuit board, a leaf spring and a cooling plate. A plurality of fasteners pass through co-axial apertures of the leaf spring, the printed circuit board and the cooling plate, such that a contact surface of the leaf spring imparts a force on the semiconductor device to retain the semiconductor device in a thermally conductive position with respect to the cooling plate. A positive cooling effect is achieved regardless of mounting conditions including orientation of the electronic assembly, and the position of the semiconductor device on the cooling plate.
