Abstract
An electronic device includes a circuit board, a connector fixed on the circuit board, and a heat sink mounted on the circuit board. The heat sink includes a securing portion. The securing portion defines a first cutout, a second cutout, and an arm located between the first and second cutouts. The arm resiliently urges the connector against the circuit board so as to firmly hold the connector between the heat sink and the circuit board.
