Abstract

An electrical assembly including a substantially planar substrate having at least one recess therein and a plurality of electrical components. The electrical components are positioned in the at least one recess and include a first electrical component and a second electrical component. Each of the electrical components has a body and an electrical connection. The electrical connection of the first electrical component and the electrical connection of the second electrical component are aligned with each other when the body of the first electrical component is in a recess and the body of the second electrical component is in a recess.

Claims (13)

1. An electrical assembly, comprising: a substantially planar dielectric single body substrate having a plurality of interlinking recesses including at least a first recess and a second recess interlinking with each other at a recess intersection; a plurality of electrical components positioned in said plurality of interlinking recesses including a first electrical component in said first recess and a second electrical component in said second recess, each of said electrical components having a body and an electrical connection, said electrical connection of said first electrical component and said electrical connection of said second electrical component each being one of a lead extending from the electrical component body and a ball of solder at an end of the electrical component body and being aligned with and electrically connected to each other within said recess intersection of said first recess and said second recess when said body of said first electrical component is in said first recess and said body of said second electrical component is in said second recess;

said substantially planar dielectric single body substrate being a field dispersing material that is readily heat conductive to form a heat sink for said first and second electrical components; and said substantially planar dielectric single body substrate having an upper surface in which said first and second recesses are formed and a reverse side opposite said upper surface, with sufficient thickness of a single material between said upper surface and said reverse side to provide said recesses with bottoms and recess depths sufficient to contain said first and second electrical components therein at or below said upper surface; wherein said electrical connection of said first electrical component is soldered to said electrical connection of said second electrical component.

2. The electrical assembly of claim 1 , wherein said recesses are formed in said substrate by one of cutting and abrading.

3. The electrical assembly of claim 1 , wherein each said recess is shaped to correspond with said body of said electrical component associated therewith.

4. The electrical assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one conductor extending from said substrate; and

a layer of an insulating compound substantially covering said substrate and said plurality of electrical components, said layer of insulating compound covering only a portion of said at least one conductor.

5. An electrical assembly, comprising:

a single body dielectric substrate having a plurality of shaped interlinking recesses therein, said interlinking recesses forming at least one recess intersection; and a plurality of electrical components each having an external characteristic that is accommodated by being placed into a corresponding one of said plurality of shaped recesses, each of said plurality of electrical components having a body with electrical connections that are aligned by said shaped recesses to be in contact with and electrically connected to said electrical connection of at least one other of said plurality of electrical components within an intersection of interlinking recesses;

said single body dielectric substrate being a field dispersing material that is readily heat conductive to form a heat sink for said electrical components; and said single body dielectric substrate having an upper surface defining a plane in which said plurality of shaped interlinking recesses are formed, and a reverse side opposite said upper surface, with sufficient thickness of a single material between said upper surface and said reverse side to provide said plurality of recesses with bottoms and recess depths sufficient to contain said electrical components therein at or below said upper surface;

wherein said electrical connection of said first electrical component is soldered to said electrical connection of said second electrical component.

6. The electrical assembly of claim 5 , further comprising an insulating compound substantially coating said substrate and said plurality of electrical components, one surface of said insulating compound defining an other plane substantially parallel to said plane.

7. The electrical assembly of claim 5 , wherein said plurality of electrical components includes a plurality of diodes having bodies with leads extending therefrom and a plurality of capacitors having bodies with balls of solder on ends thereof, said leads being connected to said balls of solder within recess intersections to form a voltage multiplying circuit.
