Yes, this is what I meant: link the pins using heatpipes to a heat exchanger, in fact I wonder if one could use the heatpipes as the filament conductors direct.
The yamamotos are beautifully made but badly designed. The receptacle of each pin is a split hollow cylinder. When the pin enters it the sides are splayed such that there is contact at only one point, not along the length of the pin as is the case with conventional septar sockets. So at high current the pins cook and you intermittently lose the connection.
The choice of teflon for the substrate is strange. One really ought to have a material that dissociates electrical and thermal conductivity, so that the heat is transmitted from the pins to the chassis, e.g. aluminium nitride. Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
