Abstract
Thermal-transfer assembly includes a first transfer module having a plurality of first projections. The first projections are spaced apart from one another to form corresponding gaps therebetween. The thermal-transfer assembly also includes a second transfer module having a plurality of second projections. The second projections are spaced apart from one another to form corresponding gaps therebetween. The first and second transfer modules interface with each other in a mated arrangement. The first and second projections project in opposite directions along a Z-axis and intimately engage one another to transfer thermal energy therebetween. The thermal-transfer assembly also includes an assembly clip coupled to and configured to engage each of the first and second transfer modules. The assembly clip prevents the first and second transfer modules from separating along the Z-axis and/or biases the first and second transfer modules away from each other along the Z-axis.
