Abstract
The invention relates to a magazine (1) adapted for enclosing a plurality of circuit boards (2) in side-by-side relationship, and comprises a plurality of guide strips (3a, 3b) on mutually opposing inner wall parts, wherein mutually opposing and mutually corresponding guide strips are adapted for coaction with mutually opposing circuit board edge parts (2c, 2e) for the guiding of a circuit board (2). The magazine includes heat-emitting means in the form of a plurality of vertical cooling channels (4a, 4b, 4c) delimited by wall parts, wherein two of these wall parts are placed close together with their respective outer surfaces (21a", 22a) facing towards a respectively closely adjacent circuit board position. The mutually opposing open end parts of respective cooling channels extend towards and/or through mutually opposing upper and lower wall parts (1a, 1b) and are positioned between two mutually adjacent guide strips (3a, 3b), and a circuit board and associated components (2b') are positioned closely adjacent to one of said two channel-forming wall parts (22a).
