Abstract
Abstract A silicon controlled rectifier having a triangular base with a planar mounting surface and holes at the apices of the angles to receive screws for mounting the rectifier to a heat sink surface. A cylindrical anode is connected to the base and a semiconductor pellet is positioned on the base within the cylindrical anode. A spring loaded cathode tube is positioned coaxially within the cylindrical anode in engagement with the semiconductor pellet and a spring loaded gate is positioned coaxially within the cathode tube in engagement with the pellet to pressure mount the pellet on the base.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
A method of assembling a semiconductor device comprising securing a diaphragm with an aperture therein by means of insulation to a ring-shaped electrode, assembling a spring member on a cylindrical electrode having a flange at one end and inserting the cylindrical electrode through the aperture in the diaphragm and attaching the cylindrical electrode to the diaphragm with the spring-like member in relaxed position between the flange and the diaphragm, assembling a tube-like member to a base and positioning a semiconductor pellet within the tube-like member on the base, positioning the flange of the cylindrical electrode on the semiconductor pellet and compressing the spring member until the ring-shaped electrode engages the tube-like member on the base, and securing the ring-shaped electrode to the tube-like member with the spring member under compression.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
130 words
A method of assembling a semiconductor device comprising securing a diaphragm with an aperture therein by means of insulation to a ring-shaped electrode, assembling a spring member on a cylindrical electrode having a flange at one end and inserting the cylindrical electrode through the aperture in the diaphragm and attaching the cylindrical electrode to the diaphragm with the spring-like member in relaxed position between the flange and the diaphragm, assembling a tube-like member to a base and positioning a semiconductor pellet within the tube-like member on the base, positioning the flange of the cylindrical electrode on the semiconductor pellet and compressing the spring member until the ring-shaped electrode engages the tube-like member on the base, and securing the ring-shaped electrode to the tube-like member with the spring member under compression.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
The method described in claim 1 including the steps of assembling a spring compressible electrode coaxial with the cylindrical electrode and insulated therefrom so that the spring compressible electrode contracts and engages the semiconductor pellet under compression when the other two electrodes are assembled to the base assembly.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
58 words
A method of assembling a semiconductor device as described in claim 1 including the step of assembling a cup-shaped member to the base within the tube-like member to receive the semiconductor pellet and maintain the semiconductor pellet in centered position within the tube-like member on the base and provide an electrical interface between the base and the pellet.
