Publication number: 20240074030Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a first board having a heat generating element, a second board, a support member having a fixing part to which the second board is fixed, and which supports the second board so as to overlap with the first board separated by a distance, and a heat dissipation member on an opposite side of the first board across the second board and the support member, so as to overlap with the second board separated by a distance. The support member includes a heat receiving part thermally connected to the heat generating element, a first heat transfer part which transfers heat received by the heat receiving part to the heat dissipation member, and a second heat transfer part which transfers heat received by the fixing part to the heat dissipation member. The support member has a shape which reduces heat transfer from the heat receiving part to the fixing part.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Honkai TOMIMOTO, Hideki KAWASHIMA
