Abstract
An electromagnetic shielding and/or containing heatsink with venting capabilities, comprising a heatsink block, an aperture, and a thermal coupler, is disclosed. The heatsink comprises a thermally conductive material. The aperture is coupled to the heatsink block and allows a thermal carrier to pass from a first side of the heatsink block to a second side of the heatsink block. The aperture is sized to prevent at least a first electromagnetic frequency lower than a cutoff frequency from passing through the aperture. The thermal coupler is coupled to the heatsink block and couples the heatsink block to a heat source.
