ABSTRACT:
A heat sink (60) having one or more cooling fins (64) along a central shaft (66) is securable to an active device substrate (12) by a spring clip (80) whose latch sections (92) are latched under latch projections (44) on side walls (40) of the housing (30) to which the substrate (12) is mounted. The bow-shaped formed wire spring clip (80) has arcuate inner sections (82) disposed against the central shaft (66) of the heat sink (60) and exerts spring force downwardly on a retention fin (68) of the heat sink (60) when latched to the housing (30), which holds the bottom surface (62) of the heat sink (60) against the top substrate surface (22) to create a thermal connection.
