Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A heat dissipating assembly, for dissipating heat, having at least one heat producing component and a heat sink having phase change material conductively coupled to the at least one heat producing component.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A clamshell assembly for a printed circuit board (PCB) having at least one heat producing component, comprising: an upper thermal plane defining a first portion of the clamshell; a lower thermal plane spaced from the upper thermal plane to partially define a PCB chamber for holding the PCB and defining a second portion of the clamshell; and a heat sink with a phase change material mounted to one of the upper thermal plane and the lower thermal plane; w…
