Multiple-component clamp and related method for attaching multiple heat-generating components to a heatsink

摘要

The present invention provides a multiple-component clamp for use with multiple, heat-generating components and a heatsink. In one embodiment, the multiple-component clamp comprises a clamp body having first and second regions, and a deformable region positioned between the first and second regions. The deformable region allows the clamp body to adjust to a thickness of at least one of the heat-generating components to thereby provide substantially even clamping forces against each of the heat-generating components when the multiple-component clamp is affixed to the heatsink.
