Abstract
In one embodiment, a heatsink mounting system includes a plurality of fasteners for attaching the heatsink to a circuit board at a location proximate to an electronic component interposed between the circuit board and the heatsink and a damping connector for attaching an overhang portion of the heatsink to the circuit board. The damping connector includes a first O-ring for positioning adjacent to an upper surface of a base of the heatsink, a second O-ring for positioning adjacent to a lower surface of the base, and a connecting member extending through aligned openings in the O-rings and the base of the heatsink. The damping connector is operable to absorb energy during vibration or shock at the heatsink to prevent flexing of the heatsink.
