Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for dissipating heat from high-power electronic devices. The assembly includes a high-current substrate, such as a printed circuit board supporting an electronic device, a heat pipe thermally coupled with the electronic device and an assembly case which also forms a heat sink, and thermal transient suppression material which may be thermally coupled with the electronic device and the heat pipe.
