x Thermal Straps

Thermal straps, also known as heat straps or flexible conductive links, offer design solutions for enhancing the thermal bond of two items that may need to be mechanically decoupled. The need for mechanical decoupling can be driven by requirements for things like vibration or load isolation, or simply by packaging constraints. A few examples include thermal straps used to mechanically isolate delicate spaceborne detectors from cryocooler vibrations, or thermal straps coupling a high-dissipation electronic component to a heat sink on an adjacent surface in a volume optimized electronics unit.
