A clip ( ) for securing a heat sink ( ) to an electronic chip ( ) mounted on a socket ( ) includes a substantially V-shaped body ( ), first and a second legs ( ) depending from respective opposite ends of the body, and a handle ( ) formed at the second leg for facilitating manual operation. The body has a horizontal pressing section ( ). Each leg defines a first opening ( ) for engagingly receiving a respective projection ( ) of the socket. The handle is integrally formed by cutting and bending material from the body and the second leg, and comprises a generally V-shaped body ( ) and an operating section ( ). The operating section projects out from second leg. Pressing the handle enables the second leg to be resiliently engaged with the corresponding projection of the socket.

Clip for heat sink

A heat sink assembly includes a heat sink ( ), a clip ( ), and a spring clamp ( ). The heat sink includes a base ( ), pin fins ( ), and slots ( ) defined between respective adjacent rows of the pins in perpendicular crisscross fashion. The clip made from a flexible metal wire includes a central body ( ) with a raised portion ( ), and two arms ( ) extending perpendicularly but in different directions from opposite ends of the body. A hook ( ) is formed at a free end of each arm. The spring clamp includes an elongate central pressing portion ( ). A longitudinal opening ( ) defined in the pressing portion engagingly receives the raised portion. Two pairs of elastically deformable wings ( ) extend from respective opposite sides of the pressing portion. The clamp is resiliently retained in corresponding slots of the heat sink, and thus secures the clip to the heat sink.
