The present disclosure relates to a thermal management apparatus used to
manage temperature of components mounted to a circuit substrate, such as
electronic or optical components. The apparatus includes a heat
dissipation structure that includes at least one protrusion extending
from a surface of the heat dissipation structure. A carrier structure is
also included and engages with the heat dissipation structure. The
carrier structure includes an aperture that receives the at least one
protrusion. Additionally, the apparatus includes at least one biasing
structure that is configured to allow movement of the heat dissipation
structure relative to the carrier structure and provides a biasing force
tending to move the heat dissipation structure and carrier structure
together.
