Abstract

A cooling device includes a body formed into an elongate strip having upper and lower surfaces. The elongate strip is configured to contact the housing along the lower surface for conductive heat transfer from the housing to the body. Each of a plurality of cooling fins is attached to the strip and extends from one end attached to the upper surface of the strip another, free end. The device includes a first tab disposed at one end of the elongate strip, and a second tab disposed at another end of the elongate strip. The elongate strip is made from a compliant material such that the elongate strip conforms to a shape of the housing when the first and second tabs are connected to the housing and a majority of the lower surface contacts the housing. The fins are arranged to convectively dissipate heat from the body.
