Abstract
A heat sink assembly mount is provided. Generally the invention has a frame clip and a spring clip. The frame clip has one or more inwardly extending tabs and two or more vertically extending side portions. The one or more tabs are sized to fit over and removably couple to a heat producing device. The distance between the two or more vertically extending side portions is sized to hold a base portion of a heat sink and prevent horizontal motion of the heat sink. The spring clip couples to the frame clip and has a spring bias sized to produce a vertical force that presses the heat sink against a heat producing device.
