A h9eat sink device for conventional memory modules, such as DIMMs, that
is configured to be positioned between adjacent memory modules mounted in
substantially parallel connectors on a printed circuit board. Each heat
sink device includes thermally conductive first and second members
configured to thermally couple with electronic components of a
conventional memory module. The first and second members may be
resiliently biased away from one another so that the resilient bias
causes the members to abut respective electronic components when placed
between adjacent memory modules. A separate wedge, or a lever-mounted
wedge, may be provided for insertion between the members to urge them
away from one another and into abutting relationship with electronic
components on facing surfaces of the adjacent memory modules. When
abutting opposing electronic components, a single heat sink device
facilitates heat dissipation from both of the adjacent memory modules.
