Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for thermal dissipation in vehicle pads for wireless power transfer applications are provided. In some implementations, an apparatus for wirelessly receiving charging power is provided. The apparatus comprises at least one receive coil configured to wirelessly receive the charging power. The apparatus further comprises a plurality of electrical components configured to convert the charging power to a direct current. The apparatus further comprises a primary heat sink comprising a plurality of fins configured to dissipate heat generated by the plurality of electrical components. The plurality of fins are disposed adjacent to the plurality of electrical components. The apparatus further comprises at least one thermally conductive structure configured to physically connect at least some of the plurality of electrical components to the primary heat sink.
