ABSTRACT:
A thermal link provides a thermal path between a heat source and a heat sink which compensates for irregularities on the surface of the heat source and/or heat sink and/or nonuniformity in the spacing therebetween. One embodiment utilizes a spring metal device having a free arm which allows the link to align itself under low pressure so that it is in intimate contact with both the heat source and heat sink. Another embodiment utilizes an elastomeric material filled with thermally conducting particles to form a mat that has a plurality of raised sections having air spaces between each of the sections. The raised areas deform under low pressure by expanding laterally into the air spaces to conform to the space between the heat source and the heat sink.
