摘要

PCT No. PCT/DE96/01469 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 27, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 27, 1998 PCT Filed Aug. 6, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/08750 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 6, 1997A heat sink for electronic components is presented, which is integral and comprises a strip of sheet brass. This strip is bent in a meandering shape, contact surfaces being seated on a heat distributor of a component, in the region of lower meandering curves. The heat sink is held firmly on the component by means of an internally produced prestress in conjunction with a snap-action connection. Although the heat sink has longitudinal elasticity even in the fitted state, its heat-dissipating function can always be maintained.
