An apparatus for containing objects, such as electronic circuit cards, and
a method for making the same, the apparatus having a housing; at least
one case disposed within the housing, the case adapted to confine the
objects to different locations within the housing and comprising a frame,
the region within the frame divided into two regions by a first
partition, each of the two regions divided into a plurality of sections
by a plurality of second partitions, each of the second partitions
thermally coupled to the frame and the first partition, each of the
sections divided into a plurality of slots, each slot having an object
disposed therein for thermal contact between the first partition, a
second partition, and one of a second partition and the frame; and at
least one heat sink adapted to absorb heat from the case, the heat sink
thermally coupled to the case and the housing.
