Abstract

A first heat sink is built including two sets of fins with a gap between the two fin sets. The gap is configured to allow the placement of a second heat sink between the two fin sets of the first heat sink. The first heat sink also includes slotted mounting lugs to allow the second heat sink to be mounted to the first heat sink allowing for varying stack up tolerances of the heat generating devices cooled by the first and second heat sinks.
