Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
An assembly for electronic components utilizing thermal dissipating means as a heat sink comprising, in combination, printed circuit board means, thermally conductive blocks containing heat generating electronic components, bolt and washer means electrically connecting said components to said board means, said bolt and washer means physically affixing said blocks to said board means and said washer means being interposed between the blocks and said board means to minimize the transfer of heat from said blocks to said board means, a thermal dissipating panel providing a heat sink, and said blocks positioned to abut said panel to maximize the transfer of heat from said block to said panel.
