Abstract
A heat dissipating assembly ( ) includes a heat sink ( ), a pair of clips ( ), and a pair of holders ( ). The heat sink includes a chassis ( ) defining a pair of slots ( ) spaced from each other and a plurality of fins ( ) extending from the chassis between the slots. Each clip includes a central horizontal portion ( ), two pressing bodies ( ) extending from respective sides of the horizontal portion, and two legs ( ) extending from respective distal ends of the pressing bodies. Each leg defines an aperture ( ). Each holder has a tab ( ) and a U-shaped hook ( ) depending perpendicularly from respective opposite ends thereof. Each hook is elastically deformable to be engagingly received in the slot of the chassis. The horizontal portion of each clip is located between the tab and the hook of the holder, whereby the clip is attached to the heat sink by the holder. The apertures of the clips are captured by catches ( ) of a retention module ( ) mounted on an electronic device, so that the heat dissipating assembly is firmly mounted to the electronic device.
