ABSTRACT:
A microwave circuit has an electrical prong for external circuit connection, a ground and a dipole antenna. A circuit board supports the microwave circuit. A heat sink is mounted on the circuit board and has high thermal and electrical conductivity for conducting heat from the electrical circuit and conducting electricity relative to the circuit ground. The heat sink includes a cylindrical boss extending away from the circuit board and having a reduced diameter upper rim and a threaded internal bore having a partially closed bottom. The circuit prong extends into the bore through the bore bottom and is electrically isolated from the heat sink. A cover encloses the circuit, circuit board and heat sink. It has low electrical and thermal conductivity and has an opening into which the reduced diameter upper rim of the heat sink boss extends. An outer sleeve is sized to receive the cover and has high thermal and electrical conductivity and an opening. A coaxial connector has a cylindrical sleeve with a threaded outer surface and an internal conductor extending axially through the connector sleeve. The connector sleeve is received in the outer sleeve opening and threadedly received in the heat sink boss bore for securing by use of a locknut on the connector sleeve, the heat sink relative to the cover and thermally and electrically coupling the heat sink to the outer sleeve. The internal conductor is in electrical contact with the circuit prong. A first seal is positioned between the bottom of the heat sink bore and the connector received in the bore. A second seal is positioned between the heat sink boss and the cover adjacent to the cover opening.
