Abstract
An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a bolt to be inserted through a first hole in a cooling mass, a second hole in a planar mechanical element and a third hole in an electronic circuit board when the first, second and third holes are aligned. The apparatus includes a first spring element to be coupled to the cooling mass and the bolt. The first spring element is to be deformed from its nominal shape when the bolt is fastened to the electronic circuit board to draw the base of the cooling mass toward the electronic circuit board. The second spring element is to be coupled to the planar mechanical element and the bolt. The second spring element is to be deformed from its nominal shape to draw the planar mechanical element toward the electronic circuit board.
