Abstract: An encapsulated circuit assembly and a method for making an encapsulated circuit assembly are disclosed. The assembly comprises a first printed circuit board, a second printed circuit board, and a heat transfer device. The second printed circuit board comprises a heatsink, and the heat transfer device couples between a device mounted on the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board for transferring heat from the device to the heatsink of the second printed circuit board.
