A heat sink clip (10) includes a pressing section (11) and first and second
spring sections (12, 14). A first arm (15) depends from the first spring
section. An operation lever (24) defines a pair of second pivot holes
(244) and a pair of third pivot holes (246) at one end. The third pivot
holes are closer to said one end of the lever. A connecting portion (20)
has one end pivotably connected to the second spring section, and the
other end pivotably connected at the third pivot holes of the lever. A
second arm (25) is pivotably connected to the second pivot holes. The
first and second arms define slots (18, 28) to engagingly receive posts
(82) of a back plate (80). When the lever is rotated downwardly, the
second arm of the clip is raised, and a heat sink (30) is thereby secured
to a CPU (60).
