Flexible thermal transfer strips
A system for use between a heat generating electronic device having a die having a shape placed thereon and a heat sink, includes a thermally conductive slug having a plurality of edges; a plurality of discrete strips each of the strips having a proximal end attaching to one of the edges of the thermally conductive slug, a distal end wherein the distal end is rigid for attachment to the heat sink, a flexible portion between the distal end and the thermally conductive slug wherein the slug may move as the electronic device moves and wherein the strips are comprised of two of more discrete layers, or strands that create a braid.
