Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a stud mount for light emissive semiconductor devices such as GaAs lasers. A copper block serving as one terminal connection for the semiconductor device is secured to one face of a steel stud. From the second face of the steel stud extends a hollow stem through which a wire, serving as the second connection for the semiconductor device, passes. The copper heat sink provides better dissipation and is shaped to allow the laser to lie on the axis of the mount.
