Abstract: A heat sink assembly includes a plate stack including fin plates and spacer plates with bottom edges forming a compliant thermal interface configured to interface with an electrical component. Upper edges of the fin plates are located above the spacer plates to form airflow channels between the fin plates. The heat sink assembly includes a support frame supporting the fin plates and the spacer plates in the plate stack. The support frame includes a spring support member engaging a spring element to locate the spring element relative to the support frame. The spring element engages the fin plates and the spacer plates to bias the fin plates and the spacer plates in a first biasing direction generally toward the electrical component to press the bottom edges of the fin plates and the spacer plates against the electrical component.
