Here's a hi res picture of the opened module:

What are those things?



Gareth.



Why would you mount them in a corner rather than the centre of the
heatsink?

The back of the device is not the heat sink. Don't forget it is to be
torqued down to a much larger heat sink where the location of the power
devices within the package is insignificant.



Oops, I did forget that.


Cheers,


Gareth.

In addition I've seen STK devices similar to these standing alone
without an external sink used to drive large discrete arrays. I think
this was employed in an older Sansui receiver. Formerly doing warranty
service for the Sansui brand I wasn't very fond of any of their equipment
especially higher powered amplifiers.
