Abstract

A heat dissipation device for an electronic component mounted on a circuit board includes a heat pipe and a fastening assembly. The heat pipe includes an evaporation section and a condensation section. The fastening assembly includes a retention plate and a wire clip. The retention plate includes a retaining portion abutting against the heat pipe, and two fastening portions located at opposite sides of the evaporation section of the heat pipe. The wire clip includes two abutting portions, a resisting portion interconnecting the abutting portions, and two locking arms extending outwardly from two outer ends of the abutting portions, respectively. The retaining portion and the resisting portion abut against the evaporation section of the heat pipe, the abutting portions abut against inner surfaces of the fastening portions, the locking arms are fastened to the circuit board, thereby mounting the retention plate with the heat pipe on the electronic component.
