Abstract:
Integrated Thermal Interface Detachment Mechanism for Inaccessible Interfaces are disclosed. According to an aspect, an exemplary device for an electronic component having a thermal interface material, comprising a heat sink configured to contact the thermal interface material and configured to heat transfer interface with the electronic component while the thermal interface material is in contiguous contact with both the heat sink and the electronic component, and a separator mechanism configured to advance a separator ram with respect to the heat sink and effect a force upon the thermal interface material, such that advancing the ram breaks the contiguous contact of the thermal interface material with at least one of the heat sink and the electronic component.
