1. An apparatus comprising:
an electrically insulative substrate having a first substantially planar surface and a second substantially planar surface forming an opposing side of the first substantially planar surface, the second substantially planar surface defining therein self-aligning features that are configured to align at least one power module pin with the electrically insulative substrate, the self-aligning features including partially conical shaped depressions formed in the second substantially planar surface, the first substantially planar surface having at least one alignment feature configured to align a printed circuit board with the electrically insulative substrate; and
a routing feature coupled to the electrically insulative substrate, the routing feature being configured to route at least one low voltage conductor.
