Method for producing a printed circuit board-cooling body structure

A method for producing a printed circuit board cooling body structure for arrangement in a lighting device of a vehicle, the method comprising:

• providing a base plate;
• coating a carrier side of the base plate with an insulation layer and/or with a solder resist;
• fitting the carrier side of the base plate with at least one electronic component;
• and
• attaching cooling rib bodies to a cooling side of the base plate located opposite the carrier side,
• wherein the cooling rib bodies are attached to the cooling side of the base plate by rivet connections, and
• wherein, to generate the rivet connections, portions of the insulation layer and/or the solder resist are removed from the carrier side of the base plate, such that rivet areas are created.
