Abstract

There is described an arrangement for cooling electrical components disposed on a board-shaped mounting substrate, particularly SMD power components on a printed circuit board, wherein at least one heat sink assigned to a component is present which is disposed on the same side as the components and which is connected in a thermally conductive manner to the assigned component by means of a thermally conductive layer implemented on the mounting substrate. The heat sink is implemented as a bent sheet-metal part and is connected to the thermally conductive layer by means of a solder joint, wherein the bent sheet-metal part has at least one heat sink element which extends in a longitudinal direction and said longitudinal direction is oriented obliquely to the plane of the board-shaped substrate.
