Abstract
A method of assembling a folded-fin heat sink assembly, the assembly including base plate, a folded fin-assembly and a shroud, includes positioning the folded-fin assembly on a base plate, placing the shroud over the folded-fin assembly, urging the shroud to press the folded-fin assembly against the baze plate and bonding attached to the base plate and a shroud. According to an embodiment, the resulting shroud of the folded-fin assembly acts as extension of the folded-fin heat sink providing additional fin surfaces via which heat can be dissipated.
