Abstract

A heat dissipating device assembly for an electronic components (70), includes a heat sink (10) for contacting the electronic component, and a locking device (20) and a back plate unit (40) for cooperatively mounting the heat sink to the electronic component. The locking device includes a retention module (28) located around the electronic component for supporting the heat sink thereon, and a clip (30) pivotably attached to the retention module. The clip includes a pressing portion and a pushing portion. The clip is pivotable between a first position in which the clip presses the heat sink toward the electronic component and a second position in which the clip pushes the heat sink in a direction away from the electronic component.
