MOUNTING METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

摘要

A heat sink (12) is formed from a base component (14) and a clamping compone nt (16). The base component (14) and clamping component (16) include a locking groove (18) and a tab (20) for insertion into the locking groove (18). The clamping component (16) includes at least one clamping leg (22). The base component (14) includes a surface (24). The clamping leg (22) is designed to snap over the surface (24) to couple the two components (14, 16) together an d capture between them in heat conducting relationship with at least one of th e components (14, 16) at least one device (10-1, ... 10-n) which evolves heat during its operation.
