A method and apparatus for terminating stator windings. The electrically conductive element includes a first electrically conductive part interposed at least partially between the first semi-conductor die and the second semi-conductor die, wherein said first part is electrically coupled to the first semi-conductor die. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention may be readily integrated with other existing fuel cell technologies for the improvement of device package form factors, weights and other manufacturing andor device performance metrics.
