Abstract: A heat sink clip (1) includes a main body (50), an operating part (30) movably received in the main body, and a pressing cam (70) pivotably attached to the main body. The main body includes a central portion (52), and two hooks (54) depending from opposite ends of the central portion. The operating part includes a driving portion (34) and a handle (32). A plurality of first teeth (346) is formed in the driving portion. The pressing cam includes a plurality of second teeth (74) that mesh with the first teeth.
