ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure relates to a thermal management apparatus used to manage temperature of components mounted to a circuit substrate, such as electronic or optical components. The apparatus includes a heat dissipation structure that includes at least one protrusion extending from a surface of the heat dissipation structure. A carrier structure is also included and engages with the heat dissipation structure. The carrier structure includes an aperture that receives the at least one protrusion. Additionally, the apparatus includes at least one biasing structure that is configured to allow movement of the heat dissipation structure relative to the carrier structure and provides a biasing force tending to move the heat dissipation structure and carrier structure together.
