An arrangement for heat dissipation for a heat generating electrical component (10) comprising a heat generating electrical component (10) arranged on the printed circuit board (20), in thermal contact with a thermally conductive layer (23) of the PCB. A thermally conductive mounting element (40) is attached to the thermally conductive layer (23) by means of soldering, and has a connecting portion (43) adapted to engage with a recess (31) in the heat sink (30); thereby enabling attachment of the printed circuit board (20) to the heat sink (30); wherein a thermal path is provided, from the heat generating electrical component (10), via the thermally conductive layer (23) and the mounting element (40), to the heat sink (30). By utilizing a thermally conductive mounting element, heat dissipation can be achieved with a PCB provided with a single thermally conductive layer, rather than the multi layer PCB required in prior art arrangements. As no screws and/or adhesives are used to attached the PCB to the heat sink, the PCB may easily be removed, and the problem of bending caused by differences in coefficient of thermal expansion is overcome.
