Abstract
A snap-in assembly of a wallplate to a heat sink is achieved by placing notches in the ends of the heat-dissipating fins of the heat sink which receive in locking engagement the free ends of tabs placed along the inside of the peripheral wall, at the top and bottom ends, of the rear surface of the wallplate. The wallplate can be removed from the heat sink and reinstalled as desired.
