Abstract

A compact assembly or arrangement of components or constructional elements which are constituted of interconnected conductive printed circuit boards with electrical components and with cooling members for the dissipation of the heat from the energy losses of the components, especially for the realization of a complex signal processing circuit in flying bodies or missiles. The cooling members are constituted of relatively large-surfaced flat plates as carriers for printed circuit board modules which are located on at least on one of their side surfaces, and which have one end surface with contacting regions of flexible band conductors press against connecting conductive paths on a wired printed circuit board which is oriented perpendicularly thereto.

Claims

1. In a compact arrangement of structural components including interconnected conductor plates with electrical components and with cooling plates being large-surfaced flat plates constituting carriers for conductor plate modules arranged on at least one of the side surfaces thereof;

and having one end surface with contacting areas of flexible strip conductors pressing against contacting conductor paths on a wired conductor plate oriented perpendicularly thereto, said cooling plates for the dissipation of heat losses generated by the electrical components, particularly in the formation of a complex signal processing circuit in flying bodies or projectiles;

the improvement comprising in that along said contacting end surfaces, contacting areas of said flexible strip conductors to the conductor plate modules are pressed by clamping screws engaging through the contact end face into the plane of the wired conductor plate, and said clamping screws engage in the same plane of the conductor plate on the module located opposite that side of the wired conductor plate.

2. An arrangement of components as claimed in claim 1, comprising multi-layer laminated conductor plates, at least one laminated plane having a flexible strip conductor extending therefrom in front of the end face of the plate.

3. An arrangement of components as claimed in claim 1, comprising an elastic insert being positioned intermediate the end face of the plate and the strip conductor.

4. An arrangement of components as claimed in claim 1, comprising a contact shunt being arranged intermediate, respectively, the contacting areas of the connector strip conductor of said module and the wired conductor paths.

5. An arrangement of components as claimed in claim 4, wherein said shunt comprises a supporting foil having protruding punchings therein.

6. An arrangement of components as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plates of the modules are traversed by passageways for a cooling medium.

7. An arrangement of components as claimed in claim 6, wherein the passageways discharge towards the side surfaces which are located perpendicular of the end faces of said plates.

8. An arrangement of components as claimed in claim 7, wherein said arrangement is located between the end plates of a housing, distributor passageways for said cooling medium being formed in said end plates and communicating with the cooling passageways in said modules oriented perpendicularly thereof.

9. An arrangement of components as claimed in claim 1, wherein conductor plates arranged on both planar side surfaces of a module cooling plate are connected to each other, opposite the contacting end surface, by wired flexible strip conductors.

10. An arrangement of components as claimed in claim 9, wherein a plurality of rearwardly wired flexible strip conductors are provided on a module, and which project mutually offset from conductor plates.
