MOUNTING ASSEMBLY FOR HEAT SINK

摘要

A mounting assembly for mounting a heat sink (60) in a mounting frame (80) includes two clips (20) and an operating body (40). Each clip has a central portion (22), and two arms (24) depending from opposite ends of the central portion respectively. Two hooks (28) extend inwardly from a distal end of each arm. The operating body includes a main beam (42), two pressing tabs (44) formed from upper edges of opposite ends of the main beam respectively, and two ears (48) extending coplanarly outwardly from bottom portions of the opposite ends of the main beam respectively. When the pressing tabs are depressed, they drive adjacent arms of the clips to move downwardly until the hooks of said adjacent arms are snappingly engaged in corresponding retaining holes of the mounting frame. Thus the clips press the heat sink to firmly contact an electronic package within the mounting frame.
