Abstract
The invention provides a printed circuit board that has electronic power switches. The switches include vertical heat conductive metal backings, for attaching heat sinks. Each heat sink includes a main panel and two flanking fin panels. The main panels are attached to the metal backings and are arranged vertically, such as according to the TO-220 methodology. The invention provides bringing the power switches close to each other, and interleaving the fins according to various configurations, pairs or chain. Openings in the fin panels become aligned with each other, permitting a stream of air to move through them.
