Abstract: An assembly includes a metallic housing, an electromagnetic (EM) device, and a bobbin in which the EM device is supported. The bobbin has a non-metallic, inner bobbin body, a non-metallic, outer bobbin body, and a metallic shield sandwiched between the inner and outer bobbin bodies. The EM device and the bobbin are mounted in the housing with the bobbin being between the EM device and the housing for heat from the EM device to thermally conduct through the inner and outer bobbin bodies and the shield to the housing while the shield shields noise of the EM device from the housing.
