Abstract
A clip ( ) for securing a heat sink ( ) to a CPU ( ) mounted on a CPU socket ( ) includes first and second latching arms ( ) and a connecting portion ( ). The first latching arm includes a horizontal first main body ( ), and a first through hole ( ) defined in the first main body. The second latching arm includes a horizontal second main body ( ), and a second through hole ( ) defined in the second main body. An end of the second main body directly confronts an end of the first main body. The connecting portion defines a pair of first and second pivot holes ( ), and is pivotally connected to each of the first and second latching arms. The connecting portion is rotated, and the second latching arm climbs up and along the first latching arm. The clip thereby firmly engages with catches of the CPU socket.
