Abstract
An avionics chassis comprises a carbon fiber reinforced housing, a card rail for holding an electronic circuit board mounted to an interior surface of the housing, at least one heat-dissipating fin composed of carbon fiber and extending from the outer surface of the housing, a plurality of isotropic carbon fibers extending from an interior of the fin through the housing and in abutting contact with the card rail. The plurality of isotropic fibers form a direct conductive path from the card rail to the heat-dissipating fin.
