An electronic device cooling assembly and fabrication method are provided
which include a manifold with an orifice for injecting a cooling liquid
onto a surface to be cooled, and an elastic pin support material with an
opening aligned to the orifice of the manifold. Multiple thermally
conductive pins are mounted within the support material, extending
therefrom, and are sized to physically contact the surface to be cooled.
The support material has a thickness and compliance which facilitates
thermal interfacing of the pins to the surface by allowing second ends
thereof to move vertically and tilt. The second end of each pin has a
planar surface which is normal to an axis of the pin, and the support
material facilitates the planar surfaces of the second pin ends
establishing planar contact with the surface to be cooled,
notwithstanding that the surface may be other than planar.
