ABSTRACT:
An electronic assembly that includes a heat pipe that extends from an electronic card. The heat pipe has a condenser end that can be inserted into an elastic thermally conductive port of a manifold. The manifold may be part of a cooling system that removes heat from the condenser end of the heat pipe. The port may include a metal filled elastomeric material. The elastic characteristic of the material may accommodate for tolerances in the system and insure contact between the material and the heat pipe. The metal filler provides a thermal path from the heat pipe to the manifold. The elastic port allows the heat pipe to be coupled to the manifold without any fasteners.
