Abstract
The wedge clamp (28) engages on the end of a heatsink (18) and engages within a channel shaped recess (24, 26) in the coldwall. The wedge clamp (28) is made up of a pair of wedges (32, 34) of the same angle driven together by a screw (48). This forces the wedge clamp surfaces (32, 34) apart to obtain a large heat transfer area and intimate contact with the coldwall surfaces (24, 26).
