Abstract

An electrical module assembly (100) includes a mounting frame (130) having a passage (135) extending though the mounting frame (130). A heat sink (160) is positioned within the passage (135) of the mounting frame (130). A module substrate (120) is located on or near the heat sink (160) such that there is thermal conductivity between the module substrate (120) and the heat sink (160). A heat-generating semiconductor device (122), such as a power amplifier (122), which requires heat dissipation, is positioned on the module substrate (120) such that there is thermal conductivity between the heat-generating semiconductor device and the heat sink (160). Electrical connection to the module substrate (120) is provided through the mounting frame (130).
