Abstract
An enclosure and a method for dispersing heat generated by an electrical component within the enclosure is provided and includes associating the electrical component with a conductive via/trace such that the conductive via/trace absorbs the heat generated by the electrical component, wherein the conductive via/trace is constructed from a heat conducting material; directing heat generated by the electrical component away from the electrical component by associating the conductive via/trace with a column having a column wall that defines a column cavity communicated with a column first opening and a column second opening, wherein the column wall is thermally conductive to receive heat flowing into the at least one of the plurality of columns; and allowing an airflow to flow through the column first opening into the column cavity and out of the column second opening, such that the airflow contacts the column wall within the column cavity.
