Abstract
Abstract An electronic assembly for large wafer circuit elements. The assembly includes a plurality of wafers, each mounted on a wafer support element by means of conductive spring-like members. The support elements are held in a plane parallel silo-like stacked relationship by means of conductive rods which provide a means for connection to the wafers. The ''''silo'''' is mounted within a liquid light housing containing a coolant material. The mounting accommodates temperature induced expansion and contraction of the silo.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
An electronic wafer type assembly comprising: a plurality of wafer type circuit elements having pad portions adapted for electrical connection purposes, a corresponding plurality of annular wafer support elements disposed parallel and adjacent to said circuit elements, a plurality of electrical connection pads on each of said wafer support elements, a plurality of conductive, spring-like, support members affixed at one end to said pad portions on said circuit elements and at the other end to said pad portions on said wafer support elements to provide an electrical connection therebetween, mounting means comprising a plurality of conductive rod members for said wafer support elements holding said support elements in spaced parallel relationship to provide a silo-like assembly and each of said rod members engaging pads on said wafer support elements to establish electrical connections to said support elements, and a housing surrounding said support members and circuit elements and adapted to retain said circuit elements in a liquid coolant material.
