Claim 0:
1. A power module, comprising:
pins of a first material coupled at a bottom portion to top metal layer of a direct bonded copper (DBC) substrate and having a top portion extending through pin holes in a casing of the power module, the top portion of the pins configured to be press fit into vias of an electronic substrate; and
support pillars, of a second material, coupled at a first end to the electronic substrate and coupled at a second end to a baseplate onto which a bottom metal layer of the DBC substrate is coupled, the support pillars configured to hold the electronic substrate at a height relative to the pins, the second material of the support pillars having a coefficient of thermal expansion substantially the same as a coefficient of thermal expansion of the first material of the pins.
