And then there is the question how the symbol should look like.
So far have only 3 proposals. And I don't like either one of them.
A: It looks like current can flow
B: To similar to a resistor. The main-point is that it has low thermal-resistance
C: Its just to much

@cccpresser oh I love C! You can maybe add a frame or a block, similar to a plain resistor? That ‘contains’ the visual complexity and makes it more palatable

@cccpresser Maybe something like this? (Heat conduction via particles bouncing off another)

@cccpresser Heatwaves going from one side to the other?

@cccpresser I think there are 3 main requirements for a symbol for this. 1. It needs to make it clear that it is a heat conductor but an electrical isolator 2. It has to be rotatable (ideally symmetry in vertical and horizontal axis) 3. It should be clear what it is, even if it is small
