A printed circuit board assembly includes a printed circuit board, with a first side and a second side and at least one opening formed therebetween. The opening has a slug at least partially disposed therein and attached to the first side. The second side of the circuit board has a hot component positioned thereon and overlying the opening. A solder joint is formed between the slug and the hot component to allow dissipation of heat from the hot component.
