Abstract
A heat dissipating assembly is provided wherein a heat emitting plate is clamped to the heat receiving base of a heat sink by means of a releasable spring loaded clip. The spring loaded clip includes a pressure plate, and legs which terminate in detente elements. The legs are adapted to extend through the two plates so as to position the detente elements on one side of the heat exchanging plates, and the pressure plate on the other. The spring loading, acting on the pressure plate, serves to clamp the two heat exchanging plates between the pressure plate and the detente elements. The spring loading also serves to urge the legs laterally so that the detente elements engage firmly with an opposed side of the heat emitting plate.
