Heat sink clip and method for forming the same

摘要

A heat sink clip is provided for clipping a memory module. The heat sink clip is made from a flexible heat-conductive metal plate formed by bending, and includes a top plate and two side plates facing opposite. Each side plate has a top portion, an inwardly inclined portion and a lead. The top portions of the two side plates extend from two opposite side edges of the top plate, respectively, and incline inwardly. The inwardly inclined portions of the two side plates extend from bottoms of the two top portions, respectively, and continue to incline inwardly. The leads of the two side plates extend from bottoms of the two inwardly inclined portions, respectively, and incline outwardly.

1. A heat sink clip for clipping a memory module that has a top part and two side parts, and spreading heat away from a chip of the memory module, wherein the heat sink clip is made from a flexible heat-conductive metal plate formed by bending, and comprises:
a top plate having a top surface, a planar bottom surface and two opposite side edges, wherein a straight indent is at the top surface of the top plate and is parallel to the two opposite side edges of the top plate; and two side plates facing opposite from each other and each having a top portion, an inwardly inclined portion and a lead, wherein the top portions of the two side plates directly extend from the two opposite side edges of the top plate, respectively, and incline inwardly, wherein a distance between joints of the top portions of the two side plates and the two opposite side edges of the top plate is equal to a thickness of the memory module, wherein the inwardly inclined portions of the two side plates directly extend from bottoms of the two top portions, respectively, and continue to further incline inwardly such that bends are at joints of the two inwardly inclined portions and the two top portions, respectively, wherein the leads of the two side plates directly extend from bottoms of the two inwardly inclined portions, respectively, and incline outwardly; wherein the planar bottom surface of the top plate is for facing the top part of the memory module, and the two side plates is for directly clipping the two side parts thereof respectively.
