Abstract
A heat sink for an electronics enclosure is disclosed. The heat sink comprises a thermal conduction section with an inner surface and an outer surface, the thermal conduction section having an extended profile that tapers from a first end having a first thickness to a second end having a second thickness that is larger than the first thickness. A mounting plate is contiguous with the second end, and the mounting plate is configured to couple the heat sink to a chassis of the electronics enclosure. A thermal interface pad is coupled to the outer surface of the thermal conduction section.
