Abstract
A heat sink clip (10) includes two side plates (104), and two pressing portions (102) connecting between opposing ends of the side plates. Each pressing portion is generally arcuate, which enables it to resiliently press a heat sink. Each side plate is sloped slightly inwardly from top to bottom. This enables the side plates to resiliently clamp a mounting frame. Two first handles (114) are upwardly formed from top edges of the side plates respectively. Two second handles (124) extend outwardly in respective opposite directions from opposite side edges of each side plate. Two legs (134) depend from opposite ends respectively of a bottom edge of each side plate. Two spaced hooks (136) are inwardly formed from a free end of each leg. Two openings (144) are defined in the opposite ends of each side plate respectively, for insertion of a screwdriver thereinto.
