1. An electronic component module, comprising:
at least one gas intake channel;
a primary channel coupled to the at least one gas intake channel via at least one first opening in the primary channel, the primary channel having a first end, a second end opposing the first end, and a first side and a second side each extending from the first end to the second end, and the primary channel comprising an orifice at the first end of the primary channel, the orifice configured to provide a second opening from the primary channel into a system coupled to the electronic component module;
an electronic component arranged at least partially within the primary channel at the second end of the primary channel such that the electronic component is arranged between the at least one gas intake channel and the orifice; and
a first gas exhaust channel coupled to the first side of the primary channel via a third opening in the primary channel, the first gas exhaust channel being arranged between the electronic component and the orifice, wherein an angle formed between the first side of the primary channel and sides of the first gas exhaust channel is greater than 90° and less than 180°, such that the first gas exhaust channel is oriented away from the electronic component.
