Abstract
A combined diode, lead assembly incorporating two expansion joints. The combined diode, lead assembly incorporating two expansion joints includes a diode having a first diode terminal and a second diode terminal, a first conductor and a second conductor. The first conductor includes a first terminal that is electrically coupled to the diode at the first diode terminal and a second terminal that is configured as a first expansion joint, which is configured to electrically couple to a first interconnecting-conductor and is configured to reduce a stress applied to the diode by the first conductor. The second conductor includes a first terminal that is electrically coupled to the diode at the second diode terminal and a second terminal that is configured as a second expansion joint, which is configured to electrically couple to a second interconnecting-conductor and is configured to reduce a stress applied to the diode by the second conductor.
