Abstract

See full text

A thermal attachment assembly for heat generating electronic devices which uses a canted coil spring to apply pressure directly against electronic components. The attachment assembly includes a heat sink housing in which the electronic components are pressed against an electrically insulating, thermally conductive film positioned against a surface of a shoulder or side wall of the heat sink housing. The force of the canted coil spring can be counterbalanced by a cover for the housing, or by an abutment that is either fixed in the housing or floats between attachment and an assembly at each of opposite sides of the housing.
