What is proper symbol for thermal jumper and insulator

Hello,
What is proper symbol for thermal jumper.
Because it needs to be placed properly. Need to be put on BOM.
Also what the RefDes? it features Thermal conductivity and thermal resistance to be put as value.

If drawn like resistor, but it is electrically isolated, but thermally shorted.

There is none.
Just make up something, and post back.

Why would a resistor-like symbol imply anything about the electrical characteristics, or thermal characteristics for that matter? It could be an infinte value resistor. The pins are just there to attach to the nets it is bridging. But you may prefer to make it distinguishable from a resistor by changing the symbol body a bit.

As for the refdes you are free to use any prefix that is unique to this class of part, say TJP.

For the value you would normally put the model ID, like for chips and devices. If you want to record the thermal characteristics just use more fields.

Main characteristic should be the value, so if the part isn’t stocked, we can search another part from another manufacturer with same value

I’ve never come across these before, but logically it has more in common with a capacitor as a symbol.
I agree use something like TJ as RefDes
