A heat sink clip () includes a main body (), a post (), a spring () and a cammed handle (). The main body includes a horizontal portion () and two locking arms (). A locking hole () is defined in an end of each locking arm for engaging with catches () of a socket (). The post has a pressing block () at a bottom portion and a cutout () at a top portion. The spring is placed around the post and rests on the pressing block The post extends through a through aperture () of the horizontal portion, and the cutout pivotally receives a cam () at one end of the handle. When the handle is pressed, the horizontal portion of the main body is raised by the decompressed spring, so that the locking arms tightly engage with the catches of the socket.

Heat sink clip with cammed handle

A heat sink clip () includes a main body, a post (), and a spring (). The main body includes a longitudinal portion (), first and second locking arms () extending downwardly from opposite ends of the longitudinal portion. The longitudinal portion defines a through aperture () in a middle thereof. Two hooks () are respectively formed at free ends of the first and second locking arms for engagement with catches () of a socket (). The post has a pressing portion at a bottom thereof for being fittingly received in a blind hole () of a heat sink (). The post extends through the through aperture of the longitudinal portion. The resilient element is disposed around the post below the longitudinal portion.

Heat sink clip with pressing post

A heat sink clip ( ) is shaped from a single piece of metal wire. Opposite ends of the metal wire are bent to form a generally twin strand structure that is the clip. The clip includes a central pressing portion ( ), two resilient connecting portions ( ) extending outwardly and upwardly from the pressing portion, and two arms ( ) depending from distal ends of the connecting portions. The pressing portion has four contact points at a bottom thereof, for pressing a heat sink ( ) onto a CPU ( ). A pair of hooks ( &prime;) is inwardly formed from distal ends of the arms respectively, for engaging with a pair of retaining ears ( ) at opposite sides of a CPU socket ( ). The contact points of the pressing portion enable the heat sink to be securely fastened to the CPU mounted on the CPU socket.
