Zusammenfassung:An electronic module includes a printed circuit board (24) with a heat producing electrical component (26) assembled in an insulating housing (12). The component is adjacent a thermally conducting heat sink (30) with a thermally conductive material (32) disposed therebetween. Integral with the heat sink is a thermally conductive runner (38), partially encased in the housing wall, connecting the heat sink to a thermally conductive port (22). The port is coupled to a base structure when the housing is attached to the base (14), forming a heat conduction path from the component to the base. This conductive path may also provide an electrical ground path from the printed circuit board to the base.
