Abstract
A heat dissipating assembly which is releasably secured in the assembled configuration by means of a spring clip. The spring clip being configured on one end thereof with a lever or rocker arm which permits its assembly or disassembly by hand without the use of any tools. In the disassembly phase the amount of spring tension forcing the spring clip into an engagement with the adjacent structure is greater than the spring force which is required to rotate the latching component out of the latching engagement with the supporting structure. The latching component may thus be held in the rotated configuration out of latching engagement while spring tension moves it out of engaging position.
