Cooling structure for electronic device

A cooling structure for an electronic device incorporating a heat generating component, the cooling structure comprising:

• a circuit board having one surface on which the heat generating component is mounted;
• a housing accommodating the circuit board;
• and
• a heat release member disposed between the one surface of the circuit board and an opposite wall of the housing facing the one surface, the heat release member having a plate that extends in a specified direction and is in contact with the heat generating component, and fins that project from the plate toward the opposite wall and are arranged in the specified direction,
• wherein in a region of the opposite wall overlapping with the heat release member, an air inlet for taking air into the housing is provided so as to extend in the specified direction, and
• the heat release member is, at both end portions thereof in the specified direction, in contact with the opposite wall via heat-conductive spacers, and a gap is formed between the fins and the opposite wall.
