/Multicomponent Connector
Abstract

The present disclosure provides multicomponent connector assemblies and methods of forming such assemblies. For example, a multicomponent connector assembly includes a multicomponent connector having first and support members and also includes a plurality of components disposed between the first and second support members. At least one of the plurality of components may be a heat sink component configured to conduct heat from a first area to a second area. Additionally, or alternatively, the plurality of components may include a capacitor, a resistor, a varistor, an inductor, or the like. In at least some connectors, a plurality of slots are defined, and at least one component is disposed between the first and support members in a respective one slot of the plurality of slots.
