ABSTRACT:
A circuit board module has a circuit board, a component mounted to the circuit board, and a heat sink assembly. The heat sink assembly includes a base member having a first edge and a second edge. The base member is configured to operate as a thermal conduit between a first location proximate to the component and a second location distal to the component. The heat sink assembly further includes a first rail member coupled to the base member along the first edge of the base member, a second rail member coupled to the base member along the second edge of the base member, and an actuation mechanism coupled to the base member. The actuation mechanism is configured to move portions of the members toward each other when the base member resides at the first location to fasten the base member to the component.
