Abstract: A heat sink/clip assembly includes a clip (10) attaching a heat sink (30) to a chip (40) which is mounted on an electronic card (50). The clip includes a middle portion (11), two spring arms (14), and first and second legs (16, 18). First and second catches (17, 19) extend horizontally inwardly and toward each other from bottom ends of the first and second legs respectively. The first catch is longer than the second catch. The middle portion of the clip is accommodated in a channel (36) of the heat sink. A pair of notches (52) is defined in opposite side surfaces of the electronic card. The first catch is inserted into one of the notches. Then an opposite end of the clip is depressed, and the second catch is engaged in the other notch. Therefore the clip firmly attaches the heat sink to the chip.

Abstract: A tool (10) for mounting a heat sink clip (80) to a CPU socket (100) includes a body (12) and a T-shaped handle (13). The body has a top surface (18) and a bottom surface (20). A protrusion (22) and a projection (26) are respectively formed downwardly from opposite sides of the bottom surface. A tongue (24) is formed at a free end of the projection. A cutout (32) is defined in the body between the bottom surface and the tongue, for receiving a pressing plate (92) of the clip. The handle extends upwardly from the top surface of the body. When the tool is downwardly pressed, the protrusion and projection downwardly press the clip to cause arms (84, 94) of the clip to downwardly and outwardly move and thereby engage with catches (102) of the socket.

Abstract: A tool (1) for mounting a heat sink clip (80) to a CPU socket (100) includes a handle (10) and a lever (40) pivotally attached to the handle. The handle includes a body (12) and first and second legs (14, 16). The second leg has two tabs (30) defining two first pivot holes (32) therein. The lever defines a second pivot hole (50). A pivot pin (60) is extended through the first and second pivot holes, thereby pivotally attaching the lever to the handle. The handle downwardly presses the clip to engage a first arm of the clip with a catch of the socket. The lever is rotated so that a bent portion (52) thereof inwardly pushes a second arm of the clip to engage with another catch of the socket. A spring (70) connected between the handle and the lever draws the lever back to its original position.

Abstract: A tool (100) for mounting a clip (60) to a CPU socket (90) includes a body (110), and a pair of feet (130) attached on opposite sides of the body. The body includes a handle (112), a presser (114) for downwardly pressing the clip, and a finger (116) with a claw (120) for catching a bar (70) of a leg (62) of the clip thereby allowing the body to outwardly rotate the leg. The handle defines two first holes (118) for extension of two pins (140) therethrough. Each foot includes a connection portion (132) and a toe (134). Two second holes (136) are defined in each foot, for retaining ends of the pins. The pins thereby attach the feet to the handle. The toes abut the socket, thereby allowing the tool to be safely rotated in contact with the socket.
