When designing components for an aerospace application, whether it is an aircraft, satellite, space station or a launcher - a major considered parameter is its weight . For a combat aircraft, an addition of such a lightweight Heat sink to a high power component, can extend significantly avionics performance at very high altitude - when cooling means are poor. When dealing with a satellite launcher, each pound saved from the launcher in favor of the satellite - may contribute, for instance, several months of satellite life. The solution presented in this paper deals with an electronic device producing high power, for limited time and requires relatively low temperature base plate. The requirements demand that a base plate temperature should not exceed 70°c while exposed to a heat- flux of about 1.5W/cm^2 from an electronic device, during approximately 14 minutes. The classical solution for this transient process requires an Aluminum block heat sink of about 1100 grams . The PCM based heat-sink gives the solution for this case with about 400 grams only with a compact package. It also includes an option for cooling the system by forced convection (and in principle by radiation), when those means of heat dissipation - are available. The work includes a thermal analysis for the Aluminum - PCM heat sink and a series of validation tests of a model. The paper presents results of the analysis and results of the tests, including comparison to the classical robust solution. A parametric performance envelope for customizing to other potential applications is presented as well.
