Abstract
A thermally isolating mounting boss for mechanically and electrically coupling a PCB to a chassis while thermally isolating the PCB from the chassis comprises a base section with a base surface coupled to the chassis and an isolation section comprising a plurality of pillars for thermally isolating the PCB from the chassis. A connector maintains the PCB in contact with the plurality of pillars, wherein the connector and the plurality of pillars form grounding circuits. The small cross-section area of each pillar and the cross-section area of the connector have increased thermal resistance to thermally isolate the PCB from the chassis. The pillars may extend from the base section or may be arranged radially outward of the base section.
