Abstract

An apparatus may include a thermally-conductive heat sink core having at least one surface, a solid-state heat pump including a first surface and a second surface, the first surface in contact with the at least one surface of the core, and a thermally-conductive unit in contact with the second surface of the solid-state heat pump. Also included may be a stop in contact with the thermally-conductive unit, disposed at least partially over the first end of a cavity defined by the thermally-conductive unit, and defining an opening, and a fastener passing through the cavity, in contact with the core, and to bias the core toward the stop.
