Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a thermal interface member configured to be coupled to a first surface of a printed circuit board such that a portion of the thermal interface member is in contact with a thermally-conductive portion of the first surface when the thermal interface member is coupled to the first surface, the portion of the thermal interface member being deformable and thermally-conductive, the thermal interface member having a first layer and a second layer, the first layer being tear-resistant and thermally-conductive, the second layer disposed between the first layer and the first surface of the printed circuit board when the thermal interface member is coupled to the first surface, the second layer including a first region and a second region mutually-exclusive from the first region, the first region including a first material that is deformable and thermally-conductive, the second region including a second material that is an adhesive.
