Claim 0:
1. A heat exchange assembly comprising:
a plate stack having a top and a bottom, the plate stack including a fin plates and spacer plates interleaved with the fin plates in the plate stack, each fin plate having fin sides extending between a fin lower edge and a fin upper edge, each spacer plate having spacer sides extending between a spacer lower edge and a spacer upper edge, the fin upper edges of the fin plates located above the spacer upper edges, air flow channels formed in gaps between the fin plates above the spacer plates, the fin lower edges and the spacer lower edges define a lower thermal interface configured to be in thermal communication with an electrical component to dissipate heat from the electrical component, wherein the fin plates are independently movable relative to the spacer plates in the plate stack to independently articulate the fin lower edges and the spacer lower edges at the lower thermal interface; and
a plate stabilizer structure positioning the fin upper edges relative to each other, the plate stabilizer structure including plate stabilizers having stabilizing fingers, the stabilizing fingers coupled to at least two fin plates positioning the fin upper edges of the corresponding fin plates.
