A thermally-conductive interface for conductively cooling a heat-generating electronic component having an associated thermal dissipation member such as a heat sink. The interface is formed as a self-supporting layer of a thermally-conductive material which is form-stable at normal room temperature in a first phase and substantially conformable in a second phase to the interface surfaces of the electronic component and thermal dissipation member. The material has a transition temperature from the first phase to the second phase which is within the operating temperature range of the electronic component.

An LED fixture of heat-dissipating type includes a lampshade, an LED lamp set and a power source connector. The lampshade is made of materials, such as aluminum, capable of thermal dissipation, and its interior is horizontally arranged a divider for being divided into a first space and a second space. The LED lamp set is thus arranged in the first space, while the power source connector is arranged in the second space. A fixing pole shown as a hollow configuration is arranged on the power source connector and projected into the second space with a fixing element arranged into its interior. In the present invention, the fixing element penetrates through the divider of the lampshade for being fixed to a light-reflecting shade of the LED lamp set, thus that an assembly can be achieved quickly with a significantly enhanced contact between the lampshade and the LED lamp set.

Heat dissipation and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding for an electronic device having an enclosure. An interior surface of the enclosure is covered with a conformal metallic layer which, as disposed in thermal adjacency with one or more heat-generating electronic components or other sources contained within the enclosure, may provide both thermal dissipation and EMI shielding for the device. The layer may be sprayed onto the interior surface in a molten state and solidified to form a self-adherent coating.

A thermal dissipator disposable in a heat transfer relationship with a heat-generating source, such as an electronic component, which is mounted on a substrate, such as a printed circuit board.

The present invention provides solar concentrators incorporating photovoltaic receiver assemblies with improved thermal dissipation, dielectric, encapsulation, and cell/wiring protection characteristics. The concentrators are particularly useful for photovoltaic power systems such as rooftop mounted systems. The present invention teaches that the geometry of the substrate used to support receiver assemblies can have a dramatic impact upon thermal/dielectric performance. In particular, the present invention teaches how contours incorporated into such substrates can improve thermal performance (i.e., dissipation of thermal energy from photovoltaic cells through the substrate) while still maintaining dielectric and encapsulation objectives. In the past, dielectric and encapsulation objectives have been obtained at the expense of such thermal dissipation. Also, material choice and form also impacts thermal, dielectric, and encapsulation performance. In preferred embodiments, components of receiver assemblies are provided in sheet form and laminated together in the course of making the receiver assemblies.

A cooling plate assembly for transferring heat from electronic components mounted on a circuit board includes both fixed and articulated interfaces. A fixed-gap coldplate is positioned over and in thermal contact with (e.g., through an elastomerically compressive pad thermal interface material) electronic components mounted on the circuit board's top surface. An articulated coldplate is positioned over and in thermal contact with at least one electronic component mounted on the circuit board's top surface. In the preferred embodiments, the articulated coldplate is spring-loaded against one or more high power processor components having power dissipation greater than that of the electronic components under the fixed-gap cooling plate. Thermal dissipation channels in the coldplates are interconnected by flexible tubing, such as copper tubing with a free-expansion loop. In the preferred embodiments, the coldplates and the flexible tubing are connected to define a portion of a single flow loop used to circulate cooling fluid through the coldplates.

One exemplary disclosed embodiment comprises a three-terminal stacked-die package including a field effect transistor (FET), such as a silicon FET, stacked atop a III-nitride transistor, such that a drain of the FET resides on and is electrically coupled to a source of the III-nitride transistor. A first terminal of the package is coupled to a gate of the FET, a second terminal of the package is coupled to a drain of the III-nitride transistor. A third terminal of the package is coupled to a source of the FET. In this manner, devices such as cascoded switches may be packaged in a stacked-die form, resulting in reduced parasitic inductance and resistance, improved thermal dissipation, smaller form factor, and lower manufacturing cost compared to conventional packages.

The present invention relates to a liquid cooling assembly for cooling electronic components. The liquid cooling assembly contains a heat spreader plate rigidly coupled to a structural foam layer for providing mechanical support and thermal dissipation for the electronic components. A fluid channel, rigidly coupled to the structural foam, is provided for directing a cooling fluid in the plane of the heat spreader and a bottom plate rigidly coupled to the structural foam to protect the electronic components against one or more destructive shock events and to provide thermal dissipation of heat generated by the electronic components. The present invention also provides a maze structure in the liquid cooling assembly to increase structural stability against destructive shock events. The present invention relates to a ruggedized electronics enclosure for housing electronic components containing a top compartment configured to house the electronic components. The top compartment contains a first electronics layer and a second electronics layer adjacent to said first electronics layer and a cooling assembly, rigidly coupled to the top compartment. A thermal shunt is configured to channel heat from the first and second electronics layers to the cooling assembly and to provide additional mechanical support to protect against potentially destructive shock events.
