THERMALLY INSULATING AND ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE SPACER

An example device includes a circuit board: an electronic component that is attached to the circuit board and generates heat during operation; an enclosure, at least a portion of the enclosure being electrically conductive; a spacer positioned between the circuit board and the enclosure, the spacer comprising a first surface in contact with the circuit board and a second surface in contact with the electrically conductive portion of the enclosure, wherein the spacer is formed of a dielectric material and includes one or more electrically conductive pathways between the first surface and the second surface; and a fastener coupling the circuit board to the electrically conductive portion of the enclosure, the fastener passing through the spacer.
