Abstract: Disclosed is a unitary body comprised of relatively rigid complementary halves interconnected along their common edges by a flexible hinge. The laterally extending body portions are of reduced thickness with respect to the joined edges so that upon folding the complementary halves about the hinge, an elongated handle is formed having a channel extending therethrough parallel with the hinge. One laterally extending body member carries a pin extending therefrom which mates with an aperture in the opposing complementary half and bridges the channel. The pin is inserted through an aperture in a card-like structure near a corner thereof so that the unitary body may pivot about the corner of the card-like structure.
Abstract: Disclosed is a unitary heat sink apparatus for dissipating thermal energy generated by semiconductor devices encapsulated in an encapsulation device of the JEDEC TO-202 or Motorola Case 152 device case style. The heat sink is a unitary sheet metal device folded to form two opposed end plates joined by a central barrel portion which acts as a spring to urge the opposed faces of the end plates together. The thermal conductor tab extending from the encapsulation device is held between the opposed faces of the end plates.
