Abstract
A heat sink assembly with an adjustable and customizable mounting clip is provided. The legs of the mounting clip are adjustable to accommodate heat sink members of different sizes and shapes. The overall height of the mounting clip is adjustable by selecting a particular radial flange for mounting to a flange seat on a universal top member. With the leg length selected, unwanted portions of the legs may be snapped off and discarded to leave a customized, low-profile heat sink assembly.
