Abstract
A modular segment that is adapted to receive heat generating electronic assemblies therewithin. The modular segments may be joined together to form a housing and the electronic assemblies are electrically interconnected through a hollow channel provided in the joined modular segments. The segments are configured with fins and ribs that form air channels on all vertical outer surfaces of the segments to promote cooling by convective air flow through the channels and between the segments. Segments may be added to form a housing with expanded capacity.
