Abstract

A spring clamp and insulating shoe assembly is used to secure a finned heat sink to an electronic device package. The spring clamp body fits between or around fins or pins extending from one face of a heat sink and carries an insulating shoe which fits around the edge of the device package and has a lip which engages the opposite face of the device package to urge the device package and heat sink into mutual contact.
