1. An apparatus for converting power received from an input source for delivery to a load, comprising:

  • a first printed circuit board (“

    PCB”

    ) having one or more electrical terminations adapted for connection to the input source and one or more electrical terminations for connection to the load;

    a power conversion module (“

    PCM”

    ) having a module input and a module output, each being electrically connected to the first PCB, and power conversion circuitry adapted to convert power between the module input and the module output;

    wherein at least one of the electrical connections from the module input or module output and the first PCB comprises a solder connection formed between a conductive area located on a vertical edge of the PCB and a conductive area located on a first vertical edge of the power conversion module,wherein the vertical edges are approximately parallel to each other and the connection is located at an elevation below a top surface and above a bottom surface of the power conversion module.
