  • Electrically insulating thermal connector having a low thermal resistivity
    Patent number: 11116109
    Abstract: A thermal connector comprising an electrically insulating beam having a first end face at a first end and a second end face at a second end is provided. The second end face may be opposite the first end face in an X direction. The beam may have a width in a Y direction perpendicular to the X direction. The beam may also have a top face and a bottom face offset from the top face in a Z direction. The thermal connector may include a first terminal attached to the bottom face and adjacent the first end and a second terminal attached to the top face and adjacent the first end. The connector may have an overall thickness in the Z direction, which includes the first and second terminals and is greater than 1.27 mm and less than 3.81 mm.
    Type: Grant
