Abstract
A heat sink clip is provided for attaching a heat sink assembly to a universal retention module (URM). The heat sink clip includes a body and a lever attached to the body by way of a pin. The body of the heat sink clip includes engagement portions which engage posts of the URM. The lever of the heat sink clip is pivotally attached to the heat sink assembly. As the lever is pivoted from an open position to a closed position, the pin moves along a bearing surface of the body. Also as the lever is pivoted, the engagement portions of the body interact with the posts of the URM to secure the heat sink assembly to the URM.
