ABSTRACT:
A clamping system is provided for effectively securing at least one power device in a thermally-conductive and electrically-insulative manner to a heatsink with a clamp member having an elongated member portion adapted to bear against a device, and a second member portion having an end adapted to bear against a heatsink. A fastener exerts a force on the member between the device and the second member portion to force an end of the second member portion into contact with the heatsink, and cause the member portion overlying the device to reciprocally exert a pressure on the device against the heatsink.
