摘要: A retaining clip is provided for use with a heat sink. The heat sink has a flat bottom surface in heat conducting engagement with an electronic device and fins extending from a top surface of the heat sink, the fins defining a channel. The retainer clip includes a middle section and a first end section and a second end section on either side of the middle section. The middle section fits within the channel and engages the heat sink to hold the bottom surface against the electronic device. The middle section further includes a portion extending above the top surface, within the channel, to limit rotation of the heat sink. Each of the first and second end sections include a pivot end adjacent to the middle section, a distal end to engage an anchor, a first leg adjacent to the distal end, a second leg adjacent to a pivot end, and a bend between the first leg and the second leg, the bend located to form a moment arm from the pivot end.
