Abstract
An avionics chassis comprises a housing having opposing walls, a pair of spaced card rails with one rail mounted to each of the opposing walls where each rail has a channel to define an effective slot between the rails, a circuit card assembly comprising a PCB and a thermal plane in overlying relationship with the PCB, with the PCB defining a first primary plane, and the thermal plane defining a second primary plane and the spatial relationship between them is such that the planes are located within the slot when the circuit card assembly is mounted to the card rails and the thermal plane is conductively coupled to a rail to form a first conductive path from the thermal plane to one of the walls and the PCB is conductively coupled to a rail to form a second conductive path from the PCB to one of the walls.
