Abstract

Dissipation of heat from miniature solid-state devices and the like is achieved by a resilient heat-sink structure which opens to receive a tab or other heat-transfer body freely between two relatively-movable oppositely-disposed broad-area portions of the structure and which then closes and yieldingly holds the two portions about the body as shaped end connectors are sprung and locked as the result of simple manipulations.
