ABSTRACT:
A clip (10) includes a body (12) including spaced first and second end portions, a first locking part (20) extending from the first end portion for attaching to a heat sink (80), and a second locking part (30) extending from the second end portion for attaching to a circuit board (50). The first locking part includes a pin (21), a pair of C-shaped spring portions (22), and a compressible mounting portion (23). The spring portions and the mounting portion are for cooperatively sandwiching the heat sink therebetween. The second locking part includes a taper head (30) and a neck (31). The second locking part engages with the circuit board in the neck. The first locking part offsets from the second locking part in a vertical direction. The heat sink of which the mounting holes offset from the mounting holes of the circuit board is therefore fitable to the circuit board.
