Claims: I claim:

1. A semi-conductor assembly including a conductive stud, a semi-conductor device, a first contact area of said device being thermally and electrically connected to said stud, and electrical lead including an expanded head portion, said head portion being thermally and electrically connected to a second contact area of said device, a single body of thermally conductive material forming a heat sink and provided with a cup-shaped recess portion having a bottom wall portion and an aperture through said bottom wall portion, said recessed portion receiving said conductive stud in thermal engagement therewith to close the open end of said recess, said electrical lead passing through said aperture in said recess, sealing sleeve means of insulating material passing through said aperture and disposed between said electrical lead and said aperture to prevent ingress of foreign material into said recess through said aperture, and deformable resilient means disposed within said recess between the expanded head portion of said electrical lead and the inner wall of said recess to urge the head portion of said lead into pressure contact with the second contact area of said semi-conductor device.

2. A semi-conductor assembly as claimed in claim 1 wherein said sleeve means is provided with an annular flange at the inner end therefor for engagement with the inner surface of said recess annularly about said aperture.

3. A semi-conductor assembly as claimed in claim 1 wherein said conductive stud is knurled about its periphery for pressing engagement into said recess whereby the material of said conductive body is displaced when said stud is pressed thereinto.
