Abstract
A heat management system may include a generally planar printed circuit board extending in a first plane, heat-generating electrical components mounted on a first side of the PCB, and an air baffle coupled to the PCB and configured to direct air flow across some of the components. The air baffle may include a generally planar air baffle body extending in a second plane parallel to and offset from the first plane of the PCB such that at least one of the components is located in an area between the air baffle body and the PCB, an opening in the generally planar body, and a generally planar wing coupled to the air baffle body at a first side of the opening and extending toward the PCB at an askew angle relative to the first plane of the air baffle body, the wing being configured to facilitate air flow through the opening.
