Disclosed are systems and methods which utilize mounting members adapted to provide consistent compressive pressure with respect to strata of a laminated structure, such as the heat source, TEC, and heat absorbing layers of a TEC stack-up, throughout a range of operating temperatures. Preferably, mounting members of the present invention are adapted to provide uniform compressive pressure across a surface area, such as the heat transferring surfaces of a TEC, to thereby provide a sound structure which is relatively resistant to dynamic forces. Preferred embodiment mounting members are adapted to minimize the transfer of thermal energy therethrough, such as to substantially avoid a heat leak in a TEC stack-up configuration.
