Abstract
A heat sink includes a base and a cover that can be assembled to form a heat sink body, with a channel defined between the base and the cover. The channel extends from a first opening to a second opening. A fan secured to the heat sink body is configured to move air through the first opening, through the channel, and then out through the second opening. Electrical terminals are supported on an insulating body secured to the base. Each electrical terminal has an upper end for receiving a lead of an electronic device, and a lower end for engaging another socket or a printed circuit board. Vias extending through the cover are aligned with the electrical terminals so that a lead of an electronic device can extend through a via into the socket of an electrical terminal. Fins extend from the cover and/or the base.
