ABSTRACT:
A thermally conductive structure for transferring heat energy transversely, relative to a heat source interconnected to the structure, is disclosed. The structure generally includes a plurality of non-metallic thermal plugs insertable into a corresponding plurality of cells of a honeycomb core. Each of the thermal plugs are primarily axially thermally conductive. The honeycomb core is sandwiched between first and second panels, the heat source being mounted on the first panel. As such, the structure with high through the thickness thermal conductivity (e.g., greater than 200 W/m .degree.K) and conductance primarily transversely transfers heat energy from the heat source to the second panel via the plurality of thermal plugs.
