Abstract
An assembly support mount includes at least two flexible, retention posts spaced apart with ends to engage a heat sink frictionally to support the heat sink relative to an electronic device. The flexible retention posts are attached to a substrate without the need for holes in the substrate and extend past a heat generating device into openings in a heat sink where they are attached by any number of means, preferrably by frictionally engaging the openings in the heat sink.
