1. A system, comprising:
a heat sink including:
a fin body having a first face and a second face;
one or more fins extending vertically from the fin body; and
a clip having a first flange and a second flange, the second flange opposed to the first flange and separated from the first flange by a space;
wherein the clip is disposed on one of the first face or the second face and is configured to attach the heat sink to a heat generating component of a Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) to dissipate heat energy from the heat generating component of the LRU to an ambient environment.
