Abstract

An electronic device may include at least one power component and a printed circuit board. The at least one power component may include a main body and a lead. The printed circuit board may include at least two conductive layers parallel to a plane. The printed circuit board may further include a mounting element and a conductor. The mounting element may include first conductive tubes. The conductor may include second conductive tubes. The first conductive tubes and the second conductive tubes may elongate through a thickness of the printed circuit board along a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane. The main body of the at least one power component may be fixed to the mounting element. The lead of the at least one power component may be fixed to the conductor.
