Abstract
A mounting assembly comprises a rigid support bracket configured to substantially surround a heat source. The rigid support bracket is coupled to a circuit board. The mounting assembly also comprises a removable lid that is coupled to the rigid support bracket and configured to provide selective access to the heat source. The mounting assembly further comprises a heat exchanger coupled to the heat source, wherein the heat exchanger is positioned between the heat source and the removable lid. The removable lid is preferably configured and has a desired stiffness to urge the heat exchanger in contact by a substantially constant force with the heat source and prevents unwanted movement of the heat source. Further, the support bracket structure is configured to transfer the substantially constant force over a relatively large surface area on the circuit board thereby protecting the heat source from bending, breaking or collapsing from the substantially constant force. The removable lid is preferably made of a material, including but not limited to copper, which accommodates a desired amount of heat transfer from an area within the support bracket.
