Abstract
A heat sink with a twist lock mounting mechanism. An electronic device may be mounted to the heat sink without the use of external fasteners, such as screws or rivets. Instead of using external fasteners, the heat sink includes resilient mounting flanges for securing an electronic device. Rotating an electronic device on the heat sink secures the electronic device in a friction fit with the resilient mounting flanges. Multiple electronic devices may be mounted to the heat sink, either manually or through an automated process.
