A power module for PCB embedding includes: a leadframe; a power semiconductor die with a first load terminal and control terminal at a first side of the die and a second load terminal at the opposite side, the second load terminal soldered to the leadframe; a first metal clip soldered to the first load terminal and forming a first terminal of the power module at a first side of the power module; and a second metal clip soldered to the control terminal and forming a second terminal of the power module at the first side of the power module. The leadframe forms a third terminal of the power module at the first side of the power module, or a third metal clip is soldered to the leadframe and forms the third terminal. The power module terminals are coplanar within +/−30 μm at the first side of the power module.

A mouth guard senses impact forces and determines if the forces exceed an impact threshold. If so, the mouth guard notifies the user of the risk for injury by haptic feedback, vibratory feedback, and/or audible feedback. The mouth guard system may also remotely communicate the status of risk and the potential injury. The mouth guard uses a local memory device to store impact thresholds based on personal biometric information obtained from the user and compares the sensed forces relative to those threshold values. The mouth guard and its electrical components on the printed circuit board are custom manufactured for the user such that the mouth guard provides a comfortable and reliable fit, while ensuring exceptional performance.
