Abstract
The present invention provides an encapsulant structure for retaining an electronic circuit having heat-generating components within a case that at least partially surrounds the electronic circuit. In one advantageous embodiment, the encapsulant structure provides for a thermally conductive insert to be located within the case proximate the heat-generating components. The insert increases the heat transfer efficiency from the electronic circuit to the case.
