A system is provided for heat sinking and environmental dissipation of
heat generated by one or more ICs mounted to a printed circuit board. The
system includes a primary thermally conductive plate and one or more
thermally conductive discs attached to the primary plate. The one or more
thermally conductive discs make intimate contact with the one or more ICs
mounted to the printed circuit board such that the heat generated by the
one or more ICs in operation transfers through the one or more discs and
onto the plate, whereupon the heat laterally distributes across the
primary plate and dissipates into the environment.
