Abstract
A heat sink assembly includes an upper heat sink element having upper plates each having sides between front and rear ends and each having inner and outer ends and a lower heat sink element having lower plates each having sides between front and rear ends and each having inner and outer ends. The lower plates include lower spacer plates and lower interface plates with the outer ends thereof thermally coupled to an electronic module. The lower interface plates include interface fins interfacing with the upper plates. The heat sink assembly includes a spring element having an upper spring member engaging the inner ends of the upper plates to bias the upper plates in a first biasing direction away from the lower plates and having a lower spring member engaging the inner ends of the lower plates to bias the lower plates in a second biasing direction away from the upper plates.
