Abstract
A heat sink for frictionally engaging an electronic device. The heat sink includes an enclosure which is formed by a pair of oppositely facing vertically side walls which extend upwardly from a flat horizontal base wall. A pair of opposed resilient clamping fingers extend toward each other and downwardly from the upper ends of the vertical side walls. Each of the clamping fingers has a free rounded end for engaging with a downward biasing force the top surface of an electronic device which is placed within the enclosure of the heat sink. A stop is located on the base wall for locating the electronic device relative to the heat sink. The heat sink also has a protuberance on the inside surface of each vertical side wall for engaging the side walls of the electronic device.
