Abstract:
1. A system for providing electrical shielding and heat dissipation, the system comprising: a heat exchanger, the heat exchanger having an interior side and an exterior side; a first electrically nonconductive layer coupled to the interior side of the heat exchanger; a heat shield made of an electrically conductive material, the heat shield being coupled to the first electrically nonconductive layer, opposite the heat exchanger, the first electrically nonconductive layer electrically isolating the heat shield from the heat exchanger; an electrical connector electrically coupled to the heat shield, the electrical connector being connected to an electrical ground; an integrated circuit mounted on a circuit board, the integrated circuit having a top surface being in thermal contact with the heat shield; wherein the circuit board has a surface that generally defines a first plane substantially parallel to a second plane generally defined by the top surface of the integrated circuit, the top surface having generally opposed side edges; and wherein the heat shield extends beyond the side edges of the top surface of the integrated circuit.
