ABSTRACT:
Described is an apparatus for use supporting a heatsink thermally coupled to an integrated circuit component disposed on a first side of a circuit board. The heatsink has an opening that is aligned with an opening of the circuit board. The apparatus includes a support stud disposed beneath the heatsink on a second side of the circuit board. The support stud has a bore and is press fit into the opening of the circuit board from the second side and secured within the opening of the circuit board by a fastener passing through the aligned openings of the heatsink and the circuit board and into the bore. A capture mechanism, disposed on a surface adjacent and parallel to the second side of the circuit board, receives the support stud, thereby coupling the circuit board to the adjacent surface.
