Abstract:
A circuit board assembly comprisinga circuit board comprising a substrate and one or more circuit components thereon, a cover coupled to the circuit board and disposed adjacent to the substrate so as to define a plenum in which one or more of said components are disposed and through which air flows to cool at least one of those components, said plenum having at least a first edge, for intake of that air flow, disposed between the cover and the substrate at a first edge of at least one of the cover and the substrate, said plenum having at least a second edge, for exit of that air flow, disposed between the cover and the substrate at a second edge of at least one of the cover and the substrate, the cover comprising a planar member and one or more structural elements coupled to the planar member that regulate any of shock and vibration in any of the cover and the circuit board.
