Abstract
Disclosed is a solderable stake for attaching a heat sink to a mounting board such as a circuit board or the like. The stake is a unitary body having a shank supporting a transverse base with parallel spaced apart fingers extending from the base cooperating with the base to define a channel. The stake body is tin-plated. The edge of the heat sink is inserted into the channel between the fingers and retained therein by the spring-clip action of the fingers. The assembly may be attached to the circuit board by conventional soldering simultaneously with soldering of other component leads and the like.
