Patent ID: 7952881

Claim:
A communication device, comprising: a housing; a chassis coupled within the housing; a printed circuit board (PCB) mounted within the chassis, the PCB having a plurality of electrical components including at least one heat dissipating component mounted thereon; a shield having an aperture formed therein, the shield being coupled to the PCB over the plurality of electrical components such that the aperture exposes the at least one heat dissipating component; a thermally and electrically conductive gasket formed of ridged outer side walls having an opening formed therein, the ridged outer side walls coupled to the aperture of the shield such that the thermally and electrically conductive gasket couples to both the at least one heat dissipating component and the chassis; and a thermal insert coupled within the opening of the thermally and electrically conductive gasket so as to contact the at least one heat dissipating component and the chassis.
