ABSTRACT:
A heat sink/electromagnetic shield assembly for a circuit element disposed upon a circuit board. A spring clip containing at least one hooked projection forming the spring is positioned in a confronting relationship with the circuit element. A U-shaped housing is slidingly positioned over the circuit element and the spring clip to enclose the circuit element and to compress the hooked projection which forms the spring. Compression of the hooked projection causes the hooked projection to exert a spring force to retain the housing in position about the circuit element. The assembly may be constructed in-line during construction of the electrical circuit disposed upon the circuit board.
