Abstract
A thermally managed electromagnetic switching device () is provided that includes a current carrying component set () switchable between a closed, current carrying state and an open, current interrupting state. A thermally dissipating component set () functionally supports and electrically isolates the current carrying component set () in the open state. The thermally dissipating component set () includes at least in part a thermally conductive polymer and is cooperatively configured to transfer heat away from the current carrying component set () in the closed state to dissipate thermal energy.
