Title: Electronic assembly having sectional thermal management

Abstract

The first board section comprises a switching module with heat-generating semiconductor switches associated with a first operational temperature range. The first board section has a first conductive layer of a first thickness. The second board section comprises a plurality of capacitors mounted on a second circuit board. The second board section has conductive traces for interconnecting the capacitors as a network. The capacitors are associated with a second operational temperature range that is lower than the first operational temperature range. A thermal isolation intermediary forms a barrier between, or adjoining, the first board section and the second board section, where the first board section and the second board section are spaced part from each other by the thermal isolation intermediary.
