ABSTRACT:
An assembly for clamping electrical components against a heat-dissipating surface of a heat sink may include the heat sink, one or more electrical components, two or more springs, and a fastener. Each of the springs may include a first surface, and a second surface opposite the first surface. The second surface of each of the springs may include an attachment region and two contact regions. The attachment region may be between the two contact regions. The second surface of one of the springs may overlap the first surface of another one of the springs. Each of the springs may be positioned to hold the electrical components against the heat dissipating surface of the heat sink. Each of the two contact regions of each of the springs may be positioned to hold the electronic components against the heat-dissipating surface. The fastener may couple the springs together in the attachment region of each of the springs and may further couple the springs to the heat sink.
