Abstract

A thermal module and a manufacturing method thereof. The thermal module includes a retainer member and at least one heat conduction member. The retainer has a first clamping arm and a second clamping arm opposite to the first clamping arm. The heat conduction member is disposed and fixedly clamped between the first and second clamping arms. The retainer member is formed by means of punching and integrally connected with the heat conduction member also by means of punching so that the manufacturing cost of the thermal module is lowered and the heat dissipation efficiency of the thermal module is enhanced.
