US Patent 9153946 Electrical contactor arrangement with thermal management

A power distribution contactor mount, and a power distribution system incorporating the same, include a plurality of electrically and thermally conductive contactor posts operable to connect a contactor lead to a bus bar, a mounting panel face, wherein each of the contactor posts is received in the mounting panel face and extends through the mounting panel face, and a first heat dissipation component mounted on the mounting panel face and thermally connected to each of the contactor posts. The thermal connection is via a thermally conductive and electrically insulative polymer insert, and each of the posts protrudes through the first heat dissipation component.
