A circuit apparatus comprising:
- a body including:
- a plurality of first traces on the body;
- and
- a plurality of openings through the body and located between respective ones of the first traces, the openings to provide an airflow passageway to a fan module of an electronic device through the body of the circuit apparatus.
1 more element
An electronic device comprising:
- a housing including air vents;
- a fan module located in the housing;
- and
- a circuit apparatus located in the housing and extending at least partially across the fan module, the circuit apparatus including one or more passageways formed therethrough to allow airflow from the air vents in the housing to the fan module.
1 more element
An electronic device comprising:
- a first circuit board;
- a second circuit board;
- a fan module between the first circuit board and the second circuit board;
- and
- a flexible circuit board between the first circuit board and the second circuit board and extending across the fan module, the flexible circuit board including a plurality of perforations between traces on the flexible circuit board, the perforations to enable airflow from outside of a housing of the electronic device, through the flexible circuit board and to a fan inlet of the fan module.
