    Abstract: A heat-dissipating structure for an electrical device comprises a PC board with a dissipating opening, and an electrical device. The PC board has an upper surface thereof and a lower surface thereof located opposite to the upper surface. The electrical device has a plurality of leads thereof extruding from a bottom surface thereof for anchoring the electrical device on the upper surface of the PC board with a substantial spacing in between. The dissipating opening is located under the electrical device for providing an air convection space to dissipate the heat generated by the electrical device. Also, dissipating plates can be installed above or under the PC board for enhancing the heat-dissipating efficiency.
