Abstract
A thermal shunt comprising flexible graphite fibers for removing heat from components coupled thereto and providing mechanical isolation. The thermal shunt comprises a plurality of stacked layers of graphite fibers secured together at opposite ends to form rigid sections at the respective opposite ends that provide for thermal coupling. Portions of the graphite fibers between the rigid sections are flexible and provide mechanical isolation between components to which the thermal shunt is coupled.
