    Abstract: Improved passive heat sinking of acoustic cameras having a microphone array and onboard processor is provided. The onboard processor is heat sunk using a heat sink member within a sealed enclosure to conduct heat to a heat dissipation surface of the enclosure. Preferably the heat sink member is mostly a spring member having the dual functions of providing mechanical force to ensure good thermal contact with the onboard processor and providing heat conduction to the heat dissipation surface. A single enclosure can enclose both the onboard processor and the microphone array. Alternatively, the enclosure can have two parts, a first part enclosing the microphone array, and a second part enclosing the onboard processor.
