Abstract
For economic reasons, space saving and simplicity in design, an assembly is provided of an electronic device and a flexible container with the electronic device inside the container and having electrical conductors extending from the chamber for connection to electrical equipment outside the container. To prevent overheating, the assembly also includes a heat transfer device. This device has a first heat conductive element-inside the chamber, and thermally connected to the electronic device, and a second heat conductive element disposed outside the container. The two heat conductive elements are fastened together with the wall of the container clamped between them for conduction of heat to the second element. To avoid forming apertures in the wall for connection purposes, the second heat conductive element is formed with channels at its edges which receive edges of the first element and with the wall in between and lying within the channels.
