Abstract
A heat sink assembly for an alternator. The heat sink assembly includes a clip for clipping the heat sink assembly onto a diode rectifier heat sink of the alternator. Thermally conductive material is on an inner surface of the clip. A heat sink is on an outer surface of the clip opposite to the thermally conductive material, and includes fins. Thermal energy from a hotspot of the alternator to which the heat sink assembly is clipped is conducted to the heat sink by way of the thermally conductive material and is radiated from the fins to cool the hotspot.
