Abstract
A fastening device includes a base, a first locking portion and a second locking portion. The base is received in a central slot of a heat sink for providing a spring force and attaching the heat sink to a CPU package. The first and second locking portions each form an opening for engaging corresponding projections formed on lateral edges of a socket connector. A pair of extending plates is formed on lateral edges of the second locking portion. The extending plates are folded in an “L” shape and face each other thereby forming a receiving space for receiving an external tool. A locking plate or a locking hole is formed in the second locking portion for engaging with a locking element.
