Abstract

The present invention provides an inverter assembly which comprises a casing with a top part, a base and two sidewalls, and the top part. The base and the two sidewalls are integrally manufactured as a one-piece. A printed circuit board with a plurality of electronic parts is received in the casing. A heat sink member has a guide member and a body, wherein the guide member is slidably engaged with a groove defined in an inside of either of the two sidewalls is able to be pivoted about the guide member in a limited angle so as to adjust a gap between the inside of the sidewall and an inside of the heat sink member. The electronic part is clamped between the inside of the sidewall and an inside of the heat sink member. The front and rear sides of the electronic part are in contact with the heat sink member and the sidewall so as to efficiently dispense the heat.
