Note that the back of the PCB has large copper areas exposed just under the power MOS 
area. It is critical that the interposer either is insulated (example: anodized aluminum) or a 
layer of thermal conducting - but electrically insulating - pad is used.
Failure to do so will cause a short among the drains of the power MOS and the board will 
fail. Ordinary thermal grease will not act as an insulator.
The interposer has to be planar so to ensure good thermal contact wit all power MOS; in 
alternative use thermal conducting pad that will fill all the voids between the board and the 
interposer.
Precautions to observe
Use plastic washers for the screws securing the board to the interposer similar to the ones 
originally installed. They will prevent the head of the screw from touching the heat sinks of 
the power MOS an from damaging the PCB and making contact with the copper layers 
underneath.
Should the board be expected to experience heavy vibrations, then use plastic shoulder 
washer, which will keep the stem of the screws centered.
Make sure the screws holding the corners do not bend the board, which remains flat. The 
screws that should hold securely the PCB are the ones in the power MOS area where the 
best contact is needed for efficient heat transfer.
The four screws at the corners do not need to be tightened excessively and they also 
require a plastic washer to avoid damage to the PCB. It is a good practice to use nylon 
screws (8-32 minimum size) for electrical isolation and to allow some elasticity in case of 
vibrations.
At the end of the assembly process check that there is no electrical continuity between 
any of the power contacts and the interposer/chassis with an ohm meter prior to applying 
power.
