  • THERMAL TRANSFER DEVICE
    Publication number: 20080239676
    Abstract: A thermal conducting device removes heat from a power dissipating device installed within a case, and includes a base coupled to the power dissipating device and a translational portion that is movable in a vertical dimension. The translational portion couples at an upper surface to the inner surface of the case panel. A cavity and piston in the base and the translating portion may provide complementary guide surfaces to constrain movement of the translational portion generally to a vertical dimension. A biasing element may urge the translational portion upward. The translational portion and the external panel may allow movement of their respective surfaces relative to one another. The cavity may include a port allowing air to pass into and out of the cavity. The upper surface of the translational portion may be tiltable with respect to the base. An adhesive layer may couple the base and the power dissipating device.
