Patent ID: 11521910

Abstract:
A high conductance thermal link (1) includes a thermal conductive strap (2) having pyrolytic graphite layers arranged in stacks (5) and polyimide film (6) at least partially covering each stack (5). Adhesive material is between the pyrolytic graphite layers. The thermal conductive strap (2) has two opposite ends (4) and two end fittings (3, 3′) that house the corresponding ends (4) of the thermal conductive strap (2). An adhesive material is in the ends (4) of the thermal conductive strap (2) between the pyrolytic graphite layers and between the stacks (5) of pyrolytic graphite layers. At least one of the ends (4) of the thermal conductive strap (2) has a geometry including protrusions (7) separated by intermediate gaps (8).
