Abstract
A heat sink incorporated into an electronic package. The package contains an integrated circuit enclosed by a dielectric housing. Coupled to the circuit is a lead frame which has a plurality of leads that extend from the outer edges of the housing. The heat sink has a bottom surface pressed against the lead frame and an opposite top surface that is exposed to the ambient. The heat sink also has a pair of oblique steps which engage the housing and insure that the sink does not become detached from the package.
