An apparatus and system are disclosed for cooling of heat producing
components. The apparatus may include a mounting plate rigidly connected
with a top surface of a circuit board, the mounting plate positioned
above a heat producing circuit board component, and a heat sink having
first and second ends. The heat sink is configured to interface with the
mounting plate in order to provide a downward force on the heat producing
circuit board component. The apparatus also includes at least one bellows
device coupling a heat transfer tip with the first end of the heat sink,
wherein the bellows device is configured to transfer the downward force
from the mounting plate to a top surface of the heat producing component
and maintain the heat transfer tip in compliance with the plane of the
top surface of the heat producing component. The system includes a
circuit board, a plurality of heat producing circuit board components,
and the described apparatus.
