1. An electronic component, comprising:
- a housing made of a first metallic material;
a heat-generating component disposed in the housing;
a heat sink disposed adjacent the heat-generating component and configured to dissipate heat from the heat-generating component, the heat sink being made of a second metallic material different from the first metallic material; and
a sealing element disposed between the housing and the heat sink, the sealing element insulating the second metallic material from the first metallic material.

Abstract
An electronic component includes a housing, a heat-generating component, a heat sink, and a sealing element. The housing is made of a first metallic material. The heat-generating component is disposed in the housing. The heat sink, which is made of a second metallic material, is disposed adjacent the heat-generating component and configured to dissipate heat from the heat-generating component. The sealing element is disposed between the housing and the heat sink and insulates the second metallic material from the first metallic material.
