Abstract

A diode assembly having electrodes and a case assembled without soldering or crimping, wherein the electrodes are maintained connected to respective opposite faces of a diode chip by simple intimate contact of electrical and thermal conduction under the permanent action of a pressure exerted by an elastic element. The case is closed by a cover kept solidly in closing position by a simple wedging effect under a continuous thrust exerted by the elastic element.
