Cryogenic system design often presents the competing requirements of thermal coupling between components while de-coupling them structurally. Good thermal coupling is necessary for adequate thermal management during cryogenic operation of the system and to reduce the cooldown time from the ambient to cryogenic temperature. Structural de-coupling is essential to reduce thermal stresses during cooldown, mitigate the trasmission of vibration and loads to sensitive and/or fragile components, and compensate for integration misalignments. Flexible thermal links (FTLs) are an essential component of cryogenic systems that provides a balance between thermal coupling and structural isolation.
