Abstract
The invention is a thermal coupling to promote heat transfer between a heat source and a heat sink with abutting surfaces using a deposition of a thermally conductive substance having a melting point temperature less than the temperature of the heat source such that the substance when heated will be in a liquid state capable of effectively transferring heat between the heat source and the heat sink. The deposition is situated between and contacts the abutting surfaces of the heat source and the heat sink. The substance is contained using a sealant to completely enclose the substance between the heat source and heat sink surface while an adhesive is used to secure the heat source to the heat sink.
