Abstract

An insulating part for an electronic device includes a body having a metallized outer surface and a heat sink arranged within the body. The heat sink is thermally coupled to an electronic component and to the metallized outer surface, and may also be either electrically coupled or electrically isolated from the electronic component. The insulating part is preferably made of plastic by an injection-molding process, while the heat sink is preferably a metal block integrally formed within the insulating part.
