Abstract
A clip includes a body (,) having a spring portion (,) and a leg (,) formed on a first end of the spring portion for engaging with a first side of a heat generating device, such as a central processing unit module. A fastener (,) has a spring plate (,) connected to a second end of the spring portion of the body and is engageable with an opposite second side of the heat generating device for securing a heat sink to the heat generating device. A pair of connecting tabs (,) extends from the fastener above the body for pivotally retaining an actuating member (,) therebetween. The actuating member forms cams (,) engaging the spring portion of the body whereby, when the actuating member is manually operated, the camming engagement between the actuating member and the spring portion drives the fastener to engage the second side of the heat generating device.
