Abstract
A clip ( ) for securing a heat sink ( ) to an electronic device ( ) includes a body ( ) and a pair of fasteners ( ) attached to opposite ends of the body. The body has a pressing portion ( ), a pair of first connection portions ( ) extending away from opposite ends of the pressing portion, and a fixing portion ( ) depending from the pressing portion. The fixing portion includes a pair of stopping tabs ( ). The pressing portion and the fixing portion each form a projection ( ). The stopping tabs are received in cutouts ( ) of the heat sink, to prevent the clip from moving parallel to grooves ( ) defined in the heat sink. The projections are received in the grooves, to prevent the clip from moving perpendicular to the grooves. Thus a pair of clips and the heat sink are securely combined to form a single assembly ( ).
