Abstract
Abstract A heat sink for a rectifier comprises two heat sink plates, six nail connectors and six diodes. Six diodes are formed by with packaging six dice during the heat sink manufacturing process so that the six diodes are completely embedded into six holes. Therefore, the heat generated by rectifying AC power to DC power may be well distributed around the main body of the heat sink to avoid water infiltration and particle contamination. The attachment between diodes and heat sink may be enforced.
