Abstract:
A thermal interface structure for electronic devices, such as telecommunications or data networking hardware, that utilize optical transceiver modules which are inserted within cage receptacles of the electronic devices. In order to provide for efficient heat transfer, the thermal interface structure is disposed between, and in abutment with, the optical transceiver module and a heat sink associated with the cage receptacle. The thermal interface structure includes a thermal interface layer including a phase change material, and a polymer layer connected to the thermal interface layer.

Claim (Index 17):
An electronic component, comprising:\n a cage receptacle including a heat sink; an optical transceiver module including a housing having an external wall; and a thermal interface structure disposed between and in abutment with the external wall and with the heat sink, the thermal interface structure comprising:\n a thermal interface material including a phase change material; \n an adhesive surrounding a perimeter of the thermal interface material; and \n a polymer layer connected to the thermal interface material and the adhesive; \n wherein the thermal interface material and the adhesive each include a first side and a second side, each first side connected to the polymer layer and each second side connected to the heat sink of the cage receptacle; and wherein the polymer layer includes a first side and a second side, the first side connected to the thermal interface material and the adhesive, and the second side in abutment with the external wall of the optical transceiver module housing.
