Abstract
In an electronic module having an electronic component which is arranged within an electromagnetic shielding, a thermally conductive element which is connected in a thermally conductive fashion to a shield frame of the shield rests simultaneously on the component. As a result, the heat from the component penetrates the shield, with the result that the latter is capable of carrying out the function of a thermal exchange surface.
Claims3
An electronic module having a heat producing electronic component, the module comprising:
- (a) electromagnetic shielding including,
- (i) a shield frame which extends on both sides of a printed circuit board;
- (ii) two shield covers which each close off the shield frame on one side;
- an opening in the shield frame in the vicinity of the electronic component;
- and
- (ii) a thermally conductive element formed of a piece of L-shaped metal which is attached by one limb to the shield frame behind the opening and rests with its other limb on the electronic component.
