ABSTRACT:
A retaining device (20) for mounting a heat sink (30) to an electronic device (40) includes an unitary metal wire clip (22), a locking device (26) and a camming member (24). The clip includes a pair of spaced apart pressing beams (221), at least one latching beam (223) and a crossbeam (225). The latching beam is set at one side of the pressing beams. The crossbeam extends between the pressing beams at an opposite side thereof. The camming member is pivotably attached to the locking device and includes a cam (242) being engageable with the crossbeam. The camming member is pivotable relative to the locking device from an unlocked position to a locked position and the pressing beams force the heat sink into close contact with the electronic device when the camming member is located at the locked position.
