ABSTRACT:
An anchor for mounting a heat sink and an electronic device on a printed circuit board has a plastic body. An arcuate groove or protruberance is engaged by a spring. The anchor has a neck which is inserted into a hole in a printed circuit board. A pin in a hole in the body is pushed into the neck to spread it to secure the anchor to the printed circuit board. The assembly is formed by attaching a wire or clip spring to the anchor.
