Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for manufacturing a surface mount power supply device having effective thermal management. The surface mount power supply device comprises a printed circuit board mounted to a thermal plastic lead frame attach by means of vertically-extending aluminum pins embedded in the lead frame attach. A cylindrical member is centered within the lead frame attach by means of inwardly protruding arms transversely connected to the lead frame attach to allow for a pick-and-place operation.
