Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for wireless charging are described. A wireless transmitter includes a source coil and an array of alignment magnets around the source coil. The wireless transmitter further includes a heat sink that is arranged in thermal contact with the array of alignment magnets to create a thermal path from the array of alignment magnets to the heat sink. In some examples, the heat sink includes a thermal interface arranged in thermal contact with opposed surface(s) of the array of alignment magnets that are opposite the active surface(s) of the alignment magnets used for magnetic alignment of a wireless power receiver.
