POWER ELECTRICAL ENCLOSURE

摘要

A power electrical enclosure includes a portion into which substantially planar assemblies can be inserted and a portion in which power components can be conventionally mounted to one or more walls of the enclosure. The assemblies include power electrical components and/or connections, which are mounted to one surface of the assembly to effectively use the volume within the enclosure. A heat sink can be provided on one or more assemblies and thermally connected to components thereon. An aperture is provided through the enclosure such that the heat sink extends outside of the enclosure when the assembly is inserted, thus permitting passive radiation of waste heat outside of the enclosure. The enclosure is believed to be particularly suitable for use with industrial manufacturing equipment such as injection molding machines and the like.
