Patent ID: 6945312

Claim:
A tape for providing thermal contact between an energy generating device and an energy dissipating device, the tape comprising: a thermally conductive material configured to adhere to one of the devices, said thermally conductive material comprising a first portion and a second portion; a sheet upon which the conductive material is disposed, the sheet and the thermally conductive material forming a removable portion; a film adhesively coupled to the conductive material such that the material is disposed between the sheet and the film, wherein one or more of the material, the sheet or the film are configured such that the adhering force between the sheet and the material is greater than the adhering force between the film and the material; and a tab coupled to the film by a weakened interface, said weakened interface existing, at a minimum, between the first portion of the thermally conductive material and the second portion of the thermally conductive material.
