Abstract:
1. An apparatus for mounting a plurality of dies, each die having an anode, the apparatus comprising: a plurality of leads; a plurality of structures, each structure attached to at least one lead, the plurality of structures and the leads forming a lead frame; a plurality of receiving surfaces, at least one receiving surface associated with and formed on each structure, each receiving surface arranged to receive a die in such a manner that when the die is disposed on the receiving surface the anode does not meet the receiving surface; a plurality of fingers, each finger having a first end and a second end, and having at least a first bendable portion and a second bendable portion, the first bendable portion and the second bendable portion being separated from one another by at least one substantially straight non-bendable integral segment, the first end of each finger being the first bendable portion and being attached to the lead frame; and a plurality of electrode contact surfaces, at least one electrode contact surface attached to the second end of each finger, each electrode contact surface positionable, via bending of a finger at the first bendable portion attached to the lead frame, and the second bendable portion to allow the electrode contact surface to make contact with respect to one receiving surface in such a manner that when a die is disposed on the receiving surface, the electrode contact surface facilitates electrical connection between the anode of the die and one of the plurality of leads.
