Abstract
A heat transfer apparatus includes a circuit board assembly and an image sensor including a plurality of photodetectors disposed in a semiconductor material. The image sensor is mounted to the circuit board assembly. A thermal strap with a first end is thermally coupled to transfer heat out of the image sensor. A heat sink is thermally coupled to a second end of the thermal strap opposite the first end of the thermal strap to receive heat from the image sensor.
