Patent ID: 7911797

Claim:
A circuit comprising: a printed circuit board (PCB), the PCB defines a first surface and a second surface, the PCB includes a core, the core defines a first core surface and a second core surface; an electronics package, the electronics package secured to the first surface of the PCB; a plurality of pins, each pin of the plurality of pins having a first end and a second end, the pins disposed about the PCB with at least one of the first ends proximate the electronics package such that a portion of the heat generated by the electronics package may be received by at least one of the pins, the pins configured to pass through the core generally from the first core surface to the second core surface to conduct the portion of the heat generated by the electronics package through the core for dissipation; a backplane having a backplane first surface and a backplane second surface, the backplane first surface affixed to the core second surface; and a heat sink panel secured to a backplane second surface, at least one of the plurality of pins passing through the backplane and into the heat sink panel for dispersing heat.
