Abstract
An electronics assembly is provided having a carrier that provides a controlled height variability between electronics packages and a heat sink device. The electronics assembly includes a substrate and electronics packages connected to the substrate. The assembly also includes a heat sink device positioned in thermal communication with a first side of the electronics packages. The assembly further includes a carrier disposed between the substrate and the heat sink device. The carrier has a resilient wall that biases the electronics packages towards the heat sink device such that a controlled bond line is provided between the first side of the electronics packages and the heat sink device.
