Air director for electronic device

Abstract

An exemplary air director includes a top plate, a bottom plate, side plates, an air baffle, an air inlet, and an air outlet. The bottom plate is opposite to the top plate. The plurality of side plates is connected together end to end between the top plate and bottom plate. The top plate, the bottom plate and the plurality of side plates cooperatively define a receiving chamber therebetween. The air baffle substantially vertically extends along an outer surface of one side plate of the plurality of side plates. The air inlet and the air outlet are respectively provided at opposite lateral sides of the air baffle.
