Abstract: A heat dissipation device for removing heat from an electronic device package includes a retaining clip having a central member and a first pair of legs depending downwardly therefrom. The retaining clip has a bore with female threading therein. Free ends of the legs are secured to the semiconductor device package. A fan module, having a threaded base portion with a lower edge; is threadably received in the bore of the retaining clip so that the lower edge of the fan module remains in communication with the upper surface of the semiconductor package. As a result, the fan module is secured to the semiconductor device for removing heat therefrom.
