A structure comprising a baseplate, a circuit board parallel and adjacent to the baseplate, and an electronic component is described. The circuit board has an edge with a scallop formed in the edge, and the scallop is plated with a conductive material. The electronic component includes a power-dissipating surface and a pad for making electrical connection. The electronic component is mounted with the power-dissipating surface in contact with the baseplate and the pad electrically connected to the conductive material. |
