Abstract
A heat sink for electronic devices which are surface mounted on a printed circuit board includes two side members, a connecting bridge, a foot on each side member which is soldered to a mounting pad on the printed circuit board, a locating element on each side member which engages an aperture in the printed circuit board during assembly, and a group of heat dissipating fingers on each side member. The heat sink can be placed over an electronic device which is surface mounted to the mounting pad on the printed circuit board and the feet of the heat sink can be soldered to the mounting pad simultaneously with the soldering of the electronic device to the mounting pad on the printed circuit board.
