Abstract:

A connection clamp assembly and an electrical system including a connection clamp assembly are disclosed. The connection clamp assembly includes a rigid clamp portion with one or more protrusions configured to mechanically secure one or more electrical leads of an electronic device to one or more electrical connection points on a printed circuit board assembly forming an electrical connection. One or more fasteners pass through the rigid clamp portion and are configured to couple the connection clamp assembly to the printed circuit board assembly. A lid elastic element is received by the rigid clamp portion and is configured to elastically press on the electronic device, mechanically and thermally coupling the electronic device to the printed circuit board assembly.
