Abstract:
1. A thermal management system comprising: (a) heat source PCB; and (b) support pin; wherein said support pin comprises metal; said support pin comprises a unitary solid cylindrical shaft further comprising: said top heat source PCB insertion shaft and said bottom heat sink PCB insertion shaft have cylindrical diameters less than the diameter of said center support shaft section; said top heat source PCB insertion shaft, said bottom heat ink PCB insertion shaft, and said center support shaft section form a single solid unitary structure having no voids along their common cylindrical axis; and said top and bottom self-centering inclined peripheral edges of said support pin, when making soldered contact with the surface of said heat source PCB and a heat sink PCB, created a low thermal impedance conduction path from said heat source PCB to said heat sink PCB through said support pin and soldered connections on said top and bottom self-centering inclined peripheral edges of said support pin; said support pin is configured to float within plated-thru holes present on said heat source PCB and said heat sink PCB during a soldering process used to form said soldered contact.
