Abstract

An electronic component and cooling system has a printed wiring board, which is planar. An electrical component is mounted on one side of the planar surface of the printed wiring board. A hood is positioned outwardly of the electronic component. Legs on the hood extend to the printed wiring board, and form an inner surface that is positioned away from the one side relative to the electrical component. A chassis has posts connected to the printed wiring board and on an opposed side of the planar surface of the printed wiring board from the electrical component. The chassis extends to a remote portion, beyond the printed wiring board. A heat pipe is generally elongate and positioned on an opposed side of the hood from the electrical component. The heat pipe extends to the remote portion of the chassis to transfer heat from the hood to the chassis.
