  • Thermal connector with an embossed contact for a cryogenic apparatus
    Patent number: 5247800
    Abstract: A cryogenic system, such as a superconducting magnet assembly of magnetic resonance imaging equipment, is cooled by a refrigeration unit having a first surface refrigerated to a desired temperature. The first surface has a indentation in which an indium body is bonded to the first surface. A copper thermal conductor has a second surface on which an indenter is formed. Preferably the indenter is either a spiraling peak or an array of pyramids projecting from the second surface. A mechanism is provided to hold the thermal conductor against the indium body with the indenter penetrating the body.
