Abstract

A heat sink assembly for dissipating thermal energy from a heat generating electrical components wherein the heat sinking includes a component support member and a cover which surrounds and clamps the electric component to the heat sink and a method of heat sinking where the parts are not heat sunk until the cover is attached to the circuit board. The clamping force for the electrical component may also be varied for optimum heat transfer.
