ABSTRACT:
A tape for providing thermal contact between an energy generating device and a energy dissipating device is disclosed. The tape comprises a thermally conductive material configured to be adhesively coupled to one of the energy devices, and a tab. The first portion of the thermally conductive material can be separated from the tab by removal of the tab along a weakened interface. The tape may further comprise a sheet such as a sheet of aluminum foil. The weakened interface typically exists between two portions of the sheet or two portions of the thermally conductive material, but could exist anywhere. The weakened interface can be a perforated line. The weakened interface can also be formed along a straight line.
