COLD PLATES FOR SECONDARY SIDE COMPONENTS OF PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18344308 titled 'COLD PLATES FOR SECONDARY SIDE COMPONENTS OF PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for cold plates used in printed circuit boards. These cold plates are specifically designed for the secondary side components of the circuit boards.

• The patent application focuses on cold plates for secondary side components of printed circuit boards.
• An example apparatus includes a first printed circuit board and a second printed circuit board coupled to it.
• The second printed circuit board has a first side and a second side, with the second side facing the first printed circuit board.
• A cold plate is coupled to the second side of the second printed circuit board.

Potential Applications

• This technology can be applied in various electronic devices that utilize printed circuit boards.
• It can be used in computers, servers, telecommunications equipment, and other electronic systems.

Problems Solved

• The cold plates help in dissipating heat generated by the secondary side components of printed circuit boards.
• They address the issue of thermal management, preventing overheating and potential damage to the components.

Benefits

• The use of cold plates improves the overall thermal performance of the printed circuit boards.
• It helps in maintaining the temperature within safe limits, enhancing the reliability and lifespan of the components.
• The technology allows for more efficient cooling, which can lead to improved performance and reduced energy consumption.

Original Abstract Submitted

Cold plates for secondary side components of printed circuit boards are disclosed herein. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes a first printed circuit board, a second printed circuit board coupled to the first printed circuit board, the second printed circuit board having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the second side facing the first printed circuit board, and a cold plate coupled to the second side of the second printed circuit board.
