Zusammenfassung:A thermal transfer component, a thermal transfer apparatus and a method for cooling a heat generating component located upon a substrate each include a thermally conductive frame having an aperture formed completely through the thermally conductive frame within which aperture is located a thermally conductive plug. The thermally conductive plug aligns with and contacts the heat generating component when the thermally conductive frame and the substrate are mutually aligned and assembled. A spring may further compress the thermally conductive plug against the heat generating component when the thermally conductive frame and the substrate are mutually aligned and assembled. The thermally conductive plug comprises an isotropic thermal transfer material and the thermally conductive frame comprises an anisotropic thermal conductive material to provide for enhanced thermal transfer from the heat generating component to a chassis.
