ABSTRACT:
An electronic apparatus is disclosed having components mounted within an environmentally sealed external enclosure. The external enclosure is cast from heat conductive material, and the components are mounted in heat conductive association with one or more walls of the external enclosure. These one or more walls have external pin fins projecting therefrom. The pin fins of the present invention improve cooling compared with conventional fins, which are, in effect, flat strips extending a significant distance along the surface of the external enclosure. Additionally, the external enclosure may be lighter in weight than an external enclosure that has conventional fins.
