Abstract:
1. A structure for mounting a heat-generating component, comprising: a circuit board on which a heat-generating component is mounted; a base on which the circuit board is disposed upright; a cover being made of a material having thermal conductivity, the cover is slidably movable toward the base along the vertical surface of the circuit board to be mounted on the base; a heat-conductive member being thermally connected to and electrically isolated from a surface of the heat-generating component; and a heat transfer plate being attached at one end thereof to the circuit board so as to extend in the sliding direction of the cover to cover a surface of the heat-conductive member, wherein the cover presses the heat transfer plate by an inner surface thereof against the heat-conductive member in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the heat-conductive member so that the heat-generating component is thermally connected to the inner surface of the cover through the heat-conductive member and the heat transfer plate.
