摘要

The unit has a bypass diode e.g. schottky diode, accommodated in a housing, and input and output wires. A metal plate (2a) is accommodated in the housing, where the metal plate stays in electrically conducting contact with one of the input and the output wires, electrical and thermal contact with the bypass diode and in thermally conducting contact with the housing, where 25 percentage of the heat produced in the diode is transferred over a thermal wire to an environment through the metal plate and the housing.
