Abstract:
An electrical assembly comprises a dielectric substrate and a metallic conductive trace overlying the substrate. The metallic conductive trace has a hollow cross-section that forms a duct. An annular member protrudes from the metallic conductive trace. The annular member has an opening in communication with the duct, the opening for receiving pressurized air or gas.
Abstract:
An apparatus and system for a heat sink assembly, and a procedure for forming a heat sink assembly. The heat sink assembly includes a heat sink having a base and fins extending from the base, and a spring clip disposed on the heat sink between the fins. The spring clip includes a first tab that forms a first angle with respect to the base of the heat sink and including a second tab that forms a second angle with respect to the base of the heat sink. The first and second tabs are attached to the circuit board. By virtue thereof, a heat sink attachment to cage is provided that is space-efficient and permits a higher density of cages on a circuit board than do conventional arrangements.

The invention relates to a circuit board, particularly for a power-electronic module, comprising an electrically-conductive substrate which consists, at least partially and preferably entirely, of aluminium and/or an aluminium alloy. On at least one surface of the electrically-conductive substrate, at least one conductor surface is arranged in the form of an electrically-conductive layer applied preferably using a printing method and more preferably using a screen-printing method, said conductor surface being in direct electrical contact with the electrically-conductive substrate.
Abstract:
Present thermal solutions to conduct heat from pluggable optical modules into heat sinks use a metal heat sink attached with a spring clip. The interface between the pluggable module and the heat sink is simple metal-on-metal contact, which is inherently a poor thermal interface and limits heat dissipation from the optical module. Heat dissipation from pluggable optical modules is enhanced by the application of thermally conductive fibers, such as an advanced carbon nanotube velvet. The solution improves heat dissipation while preserving the removable nature of the optical modules.
Abstract:
A formed graphite sheet is shaped and sized as a protective shield positioned over an electronic component coupled to a PCB. The formed graphite sheet is used to protect a body of the electronic component from heat applied during the assembly of the electronic component to the PCB, such as the heating steps used in SMT and through-hole technology.

A flexible printed circuit of low emissivity including first and second ends and a flexible central portion extending between the first and second ends and including electrically-conductive tracks, coated with a polymer material, to electrically connect the first and second ends. The flexible central portion is at least partly covered with a heat shield formed in a material having an emissivity smaller than those of the polymer material and of the electrically-conductive tracks.
Abstract:
A radio frequency (RF) module having a plurality of channels includes a heat sink having at least one tapered edge; a substrate disposed over a surface of the heat sink such that the tapered edge of the heat sink extends past a boundary of the substrate. RF, logic and power circuitry is disposed on the substrate and one or more RF signal ports are formed on an edge of the substrate to allow the RF module to be used in an array antenna having a brick architecture. The tapered edge heat sink provides both a ground plane for RF signal components and a thermal path for heat generating circuits disposed in the substrate.
