  • Heat transferring clamp
    Patent number: 9466551
    Abstract: The apparatus is a heat transferring clamp with a heat pipe connecting the clamp's stationary base part to each moveable clamping part. A connecting heat pipe section between the heat pipe sections in the base part and each clamping part is flexible enough to permit both the required clamping and unclamping movements of the clamping part. The heat pipes thereby provide a superior heat transfer path between a clamped circuit board or other device and an available heat sink.
