Abstract
A cooling device comprises a) a housing with openings, b) substrates disposed in the housing, c) heat-generating components mounted on the substrates, d) a heat conductive member thermally coupled to the heat-generating-components and a frame thermally coupled to an edge of the heat conductive member, and e) a cooling fan motor accommodated in the housing and mounted on the substrate. The cooling fan motor occupies less space in the housing, and dissipates the build-up heat produced by the heat-generating components as well as cools down the components. The cooling device thus contributes to slimming and downsizing of the electronic apparatuses such as mobile personal computers and digital video cameras.
