Abstract
An electronic assembly which includes a heat sink that is attached to a substrate by a clip. The assembly includes an integrated circuit package that is mounted to the substrate. The clip has an arm which extends around an edge of the substrate and attaches the heat sink to the substrate. The clip also presses the heat sink into the package. Attaching the heat sink directly to the package may reduce the flatness requirements of the sink and the cost of producing the assembly.
