Abstract
A fluid heat exchanger for mating with an electronic component is supported from a fixed support. A connection between the fixed support and the heat exchanger is initially flexible for adjusting the position of the heat exchanger to accommodate variations in the height or attitude of the electronic component for providing a good thermal interface. Thereafter, the connection changes to a rigid connection to provide good structural suppport for the heat exchanger which allows the support to withstand vibration or shock without overloading the electronic component. The flexibility of the connection may be reversible for later readjusting the position of the heat exchanger relative to the electronic component.
