Abstract:
In a method of manufacturing an electronic device a transistor having respective input, output and control leads extending parallel to each other is positioned; first and second busbar layers are placed relative to the transistor so that a first tab extending from the first opening aligns with and contacts one of the input and output leads, and so that a second tab extending from the second opening aligns with and contacts another one of the input and output leads; the first tab and one of the input and output leads are welded; a circuit board is placed parallel to the busbar layers so that the control lead and the first and second tabs extend through corresponding openings in the circuit board; and the control lead and the at least one of the first and second tabs are soldered to one or more circuits on the circuit board.
