Thermal and mechanical mounting of an electronic circuit board has heat sink mounted in aperture in circuit board

摘要

The heat generating electronic component [2] is held against the surface of a heat energy dissipating metal heat sink [10] that has a series of fins [13]. The component locates in a hole in an electronic circuit board [8] and is held in position by spring clips [6] for mounting and contact with the circuit board is provided by contact clips [5].
