Abstract

An apparatus for conductive heat transfer for electrical devices from the solder side of a circuit card assembly can significantly reduce the component temperature, thereby maintaining the electrical device below its thermal limit. The apparatus comprises a thermally conductive member mountable on an opposite face of a circuit board from a face of the circuit board on which an electrical component is mounted, the thermally conductive member operable to conduct heat generated by the electrical component away from the electrical component.
