Abstract
The invention relates to a module housing made of plastic, in particular a thermosetting polymer, with an embedded cooling element and at least one screw sleeve, which has a collar with an exposed mounting surface with which the module housing can be mounted on a support functioning as an external heat sink. The cooling element and the at least one screw sleeve form a monolithic element with which heat can be conducted from the cooling element to the support via at least the mounting surface.
Claims10
A module housing, comprising:
- a cooling element and at least one screw sleeve,
- wherein the at least one screw sleeve has a collar with a mounting surface with which the module housing can be mounted on a support and function as an external heat sink,
- wherein the cooling element and the at least one screw sleeve form a monolithic element,
- wherein the at least one screw sleeve is configured such that heat is conducted from the cooling element to the support via at least the mounting surface, and
- wherein the mounting surface is raised in relation to an outer surface of the cooling element, forming a space between the cooling element and the support, such that when the module housing is mounted on the support, only the mounting surface bears on the support.
