Abstract
Abstract A cooling device for a mounting module in which heat generated from a predetermined number of circuit elements mounted on the mounting module is dissipated by a cooling arrangement. The cooling device is comprised of at least one conduction element which thermally connects the circuit element with the cooling arrangement, the conduction element includes a predetermined number of first conductive members which is placed in a respective hole formed in the conduction arrangement and is movably supported by a first conductive material filled between the side surface of the first conductive member and the surface of the conduction element so as to complete a thermal flow from the circuit element to the cooling arrangement.
