Thermal management device for multiple heat producing devices

摘要

A thermal management device for a circuit substrate having at least a first heat generating component and at least a second heat generating component, the thermal management device includes a first thermal spreader and a second thermal spreader. The second thermal spreader is mountable to the circuit substrate to thermally couple with the second heat generating component. Additionally, the second thermal spreader is adapted to couple to the first thermal spreader to thermally couple the first thermal spreader to the first heat generating component when the second thermal spreader is mounted to the circuit substrate. The thermal management device also includes a bias device that is coupled to the first thermal spreader and the second thermal spreader and is adapted to maintain the thermal coupling between the first thermal spreader and the first heat generating component when the second thermal spreader is mounted to the circuit substrate.
