主として上面部を放熱面として外部に放熱される。本発明の基板ボックスは、上面部に設Mainly, heat is dissipated to the outside using the upper surface as a heat dissipating surface. The substrate box of the present invention is provided on the upper surface.
けた傾斜面部の上方が高温で下方がそれより低温になるため、その上下の温度差により傾Since the upper part of the sloped surface has a higher temperature and the lower part has a lower temperature, the temperature difference between the upper and lower parts causes the inclination.
斜面部の外面の傾斜に沿って気流が生じうる。したがって、放熱性能が向上しうる。An airflow can be generated along the slope of the outer surface of the slope portion. Therefore, heat dissipation performance can be improved.
