  • Patent number: 12713514
    Abstract: An electronic assembly has a circuit board and two or more heat sinks arranged on the printed circuit board, each having a straight air duct section from an air inlet opening of the heat sink to an air outlet opening of the heat sink. The heat sinks are spaced apart from each other one behind another in a row by intervening spaces, with their air duct sections lying in a straight line and forming an air duct. Through-hole-mounted THT components, which in each case rest against an outside surface of one of the heat sinks, have connecting pins secured in the printed circuit board. A fan generates an air stream that enters the air inlet opening of the heat sink that is located at the beginning of the row and flows through the air duct.

  • Patent number: 12713553
    Abstract: For increasing the operational reliability of a system component such as a light source unit or a camera control unit of a visualization system, waste heat produced by at least one heat source, which is arranged in an interior of the system component that is closed off to the outside, preferably so as to be air-tight, is transported by a cooling line, which is arranged in the interior and is filled with coolant, and/or by using an internal air circulation effected with appropriately, to a primary heat sink arranged in the interior, and the waste heat is then released from the interior to the outside through the primary heat sink using heat conduction. An efficient cooling of the at least one heat source can be achieved thereby; in addition, the heat source remains largely protected from external ambient influences, in particular it remains protected against dust.
