Abstract
An apparatus includes a printed circuit board (PCB) including a surface that has a layer of circuitry. The apparatus also includes a heat sink configured to receive heat from the PCB. The apparatus further includes a thermally-conductive post configured to remove the heat from the PCB to the heat sink via thermal conduction through a thermal path. The thermal path is substantially orthogonal to the surface of the PCB. The post includes an end configured to physically couple to the layer of circuitry.
