Abstract
A heat sink assembly for an electrical socket of the present invention comprises a heat sink and a latching member latching with a pair of lugs on the socket. The heat sink comprises a base plate and a plurality of fins projecting upward therefrom. A receiving channel is integrally formed by a pressing means between the fins in the base plate for receiving the latching member. A pair of positioning pins depend downward from a bottom surface of the base plate to tightly engage in a slit between the electric socket and a CPU mounted thereon for positioning the heat sink assembly on the CPU and keeping it from moving along the CPU.
