Heat dissipation for electronic components

摘要

Heat is conducted, from a heat generating electronic device that is mounted in a gap between a circuit board and a heat dissipator, along a path that includes a path segment that passes along conductive runs on the circuit board and another segment that spans the gap at a location adjacent to the device, the other path segment being spanned predominantly by a non-metallic piece that has a thermal conductivity of at least 7 W/m-° K.
