Abstract
An exemplary electronic device includes a circuit board defining apertures therein, an electronic component arranged on the circuit board and surrounded by the apertures, a heat spreader arranged on the electronic component, and a latching mechanism fixing the heat spreader to the electronic component. The latching mechanism includes latching arms extending outwards from the heat spreader and elastic poles. Each latching arm defines a latching hole aligned with one of the apertures of the circuit board. The poles respectively extend through the apertures and the latching holes in turn. Each pole includes a main body engaged in the corresponding latching hole and a head resiliently abutting against the latching arm.
