Abstract

A device for mounting a first element onto a second element to sandwich an electrical or electronic component therebetween, wherein the device is operable to cause the first element to exert a contact force on the component when the first element is mounted onto the second element and to couple the device to the first element in a manner which exerts a mounting force on the first element which is independent of whether the first element is mounted onto the second element. The first element may be a heat sink and the second element may be a printed circuit board.
