Abstract:
1. A heat sink for use with a heat generating component, the heat sink comprising: a molded cooling block including a molded cooling passage form receiving a cooling medium, wherein the cooling block is configured to be positioned in sufficient heat transfer relationship with respect to the heat generating component so that the cooling medium receives heat from the heat generating component; and a heat transfer member sealed against the cooling block, the heat transfer member being configured to be closely associated with the heat generating component to transfer heat from the heat generating component to the cooling medium, wherein the heat transfer member partially defines the cooling passage such that the cooling passage is spaced away from the heat generating component when the heat sink is used with the heat generating component, wherein the heat transfer member is configured to directly contact the cooling medium when the cooling medium is received in the cooling passage, and the cooling passage is configured such that no cooling medium flows between the heat transfer member and the heat generating component when the heat sink is used with the heat generating component and the cooling medium is received in the cooling passage.
