Abstract
An assembly and a method for maximizing the current-carrying capacity of conductor tracks and the current-carrying capacity of conductors on or within a circuit board, allows for the use of copper materials, and minimizes the costs of materials and production of the circuit board. The circuit board is connected via a housing with a coolant of a cryogenic device in order to provide heat extraction. The extraction of heat from the circuit board occurs by connecting the circuit board via a housing with a coolant of a cryogenic device.
Claims4
An assembly for maximizing a current-carrying capacity of conductor tracks comprising:
- a circuit board;
- a plurality of conductor tracks arranged on or within the circuit board;
- a refrigerant compressor having a housing and a coolant, a part of the housing configured to be cooled by the coolant;
- and
- an elevation directly coupled to the circuit board and directly coupled to the part of the housing configured to be cooled by the coolant, the elevation thereby thermally coupling the circuit board and the part of the housing configured to be cooled by the coolant and maximizing the current-carrying capacity of the plurality of conductor tracks, wherein the elevation directly contacts a portion of the circuit board where the plurality of conductor tracks are located, and wherein the elevation is directly coupled to the circuit board using screws disposed between adjacent ones of the plurality of conductor tracks.
