ABSTRACT:
A heat sink for generating heat dissipated by an electronic component mounted thereon includes a vertical heat conductive member, and a resilient clip having first and second legs which are resiliently biased towards each other such that when the clip is slipped over the upper edge of the vertical member, the first leg is urged toward the surface of said vertical member so as to hold an electronic component therebetween. The second leg is equipped with a perpendicular terminating lip which engages the lower edge of the vertical member so as to prevent inadvertent upward movement of the clip. The vertical member is provided with mounting tabs which may be coupled to the holes or vias in a printed circuit board. Additional mounting pads are provided at the upper portion of the vertical member in a plane perpendicular to the vertical member to which a horizontal plate may be coupled.
