Abstract

A thermally conductive heat sink unit having an integral attachment mechanism. In the present invention, a thermally conductive unit is adapted to thermally contact a heat generating device mounted on a substrate. A flexible connector is integral with the thermally conductive unit. The flexible connector is adapted to couple the thermally conductive unit to the substrate such that the thermally conductive unit thermally contacts the heat generating device.
