[0026] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The circuit board assembly 1000 includes a first substrate 1, a first electronic device 2, a heat sink 3 and a sub-circuit board 4. The first electronic device 2 and the heat sink 3 are arranged on the first surface 11 of the first substrate 1, and the heat sink 3 is electrically connected to the ground terminal of the first substrate 1. The sub-circuit board 4 is arranged on the side of the heat sink 3 facing away from the first electronic device 2, the sub-circuit board 4 is electrically connected to the first substrate 1, the sub-circuit board 4 is in thermal contact with the heat sink 3, and the sub-circuit board 4 is provided with a second electronic device 42.

[0027] Among them, "the sub-circuit board 4 is in thermal contact with the heat sink 3" means that the sub-circuit board 4 is in direct contact with the heat sink 3 or indirect contact with the heat sink 3 through a heat conductive medium, so that there is a heat transfer path between the sub-circuit board 4 and the heat sink 3, and heat can be transferred from an object with a higher temperature to an object with a lower temperature.

[0028] By thermally contacting the sub-circuit board 4, the heat sink 3 can absorb the heat of the sub-circuit board 4 to dissipate heat for the second electronic device 42. The sub-circuit board 4 is arranged on the side of the heat sink 3 facing away from the first electronic device 2, and the heat sink 3 is electrically connected to the ground terminal of the first substrate 1, so that the heat sink 3 can play an electromagnetic shielding role between the first electronic device 2 and the second electronic device 42. When the circuit board assembly 1000 provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to a power module, the power tube of the power module serves as the second electronic device 42, and the devices such as voltage and inductance on the circuit board of the power module that will generate large electromagnetic interference to the power tube when working serve as the first electronic device 2.

Exemplarily, the thermal interface material may be a thermally conductive silicone 5. In some other embodiments, the gap between the surface 411 of the second substrate 41 and the second electronic device 42 disposed on the surface 411 is filled by the thermal interface material, so that the surface 411 of the second substrate 41 and the second electronic device 42 disposed on the surface 411 can be in thermal contact with the surface of the heat sink 3 facing away from the first electronic device 2 at the same time.

The heat sink 32 is arranged on the surface of the heat sink 31 facing away from the second substrate 41.

[0038] In some embodiments, the heat dissipation fins 32 are extended along the first direction X, the number of the heat dissipation fins 32 is multiple, and the multiple heat dissipation fins 32 are arranged in sequence along the second direction Y.
