Abstract
A clip (10) for securing a heat sink (20) to an electronic device (30) mounted on a circuit board (35) between two retention modules (40) includes a central pressing portion (12), a pair of spring portions (14), a pair of legs (16, 17) for engaging with one retention module, a connection plate (174) extending outwardly from a distal end of one leg, and a handle (18) extending inwardly from a distal end of the connection plate. A pair of ribs (142) is formed on the clip for reinforcing the clip. The handle comprises a strip (188) engaging with a joint section of the clip between one spring portion and one leg, and a flange (186) opposite to the strip and abutting one edge of the joint section. When the handle is downwardly pressed, the leg connected with the handle moves outwardly thereby disengaging the leg from the retention module.
