Abstract
A system includes an electrical enclosure, a first electrical unit, a first electrical module, a first heat spreader, and a heat sink. The first electrical unit is removably disposed within the electrical enclosure, and the first electrical unit includes a first surface opposite to a second surface. The first electrical module is removably disposed within the first electrical unit, and the first electrical module is inserted into the first electrical unit in a first direction from the first surface to the second surface. The first heat spreader is coupled to the first electrical module, and the first heat spreader comprises a first tapered coupling. The heat sink includes a second tapered coupling. The second tapered coupling is couples with the first tapered coupling of the first heat spreader to form a physical thermal connection that facilitates heat transfer between the first electrical module and the heat sink.
