Abstract
An electronic device including a printed circuit board (PCB) including a thermal conduction plane and at least one heat generating component mounted on the PCB and connected to the thermal conduction plane. A frame is connected to the PCB so as to define a first thermally conductive path between at least a portion of the frame and the at least one heat generating component. The electronic device further includes at least one thermally conductive layer between the frame and the at least one heat generating component so as to define a second thermally conductive path between at least a portion of the frame and the at least one heat generating component.
