Claim 6:
7. The probe of claim 1, wherein the at least one of the one or more thermally conductive fins has a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, and wherein the probe further comprises:
a flex circuit attached to the first end portion of the at least one of the one or more thermally conductive fins and extending in a second plane that is a first distance away from the first plane; and
a first elastomer pad on the first side between the second end portion of the at least one of the one or more thermally conductive fins and the flex circuit, wherein the second side of the second end portion of the at least one of the one or more thermally conductive fins is forced, by the first elastomer pad, toward and into contact with the inner surface of the first enclosure and away from the second plane to increase the first distance to transfer heat from the probe tip through a path between the at least one of the one or more thermally conductive fins and the inner surface of the first enclosure.
