  • Patent number: 10319663
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a housing having a wall, a circuit board located in the housing and spaced from the wall and extending along the surface of the wall, a memory located on the circuit board, a heat conduction member interposed, and compressed, between the wall and the memory. The wall includes an uneven region comprising contact portions contacting the heat conduction member and recess portions located between the contact portions. The recess portions are recessed inwardly of the wall from the ends of the contact portions in a direction away from the location of the memory.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10076063
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a first substrate, a second substrate, an electronic component, a housing, and a protruding portion. The first substrate has a first face and a second face and is provided with an opening. The second substrate has a third face configured to face the second face and a fourth face and is configured to be electrically connected to the first substrate. The electronic component is configured to be mounted on the third face and is configured to be disposed at a position overlapping the opening in a direction in which the third face faces. The housing is configured to accommodate the first and second substrates. The protruding portion is provided in the housing and is configured to pass through the opening and be thermally connected to the electronic component.
