Abstract

A memory module assembly includes a printed circuit board (10) having a heat-generating electronic component (14) thereon, and first and second heat-dissipation plates (20), (30) attached on opposite sides of the printed circuit board. The first heat-dissipation plate includes a first hook (24) extending from a side thereof and the first hook includes a resisting portion (242) extending from an end of the first heat-dissipation plate and a first engaging portion (244) extending from a free end of the resisting portion for resisting the printed circuit board and the second heat-dissipation plate. The second heat-dissipation plate defines a depressed portion (34) in a side thereof for engaging with the first hook. The other sides of the first and second heat-dissipation plates engage with each other to clamp the printed circuit board between the first and second heat-dissipation plates.
