Abstract: A miniature fan housing includes at least one slot defined in a side thereof, and at least one separation member is provided in the slot to thereby separate the slot into more than two smaller slots. Electric wires electrically connected between power source and a circuit board mounted in the miniature fan housing are extended through the smaller slots and have at least a turn to avoid disengagement of the electric wires from the circuit board when the electric wires are inadvertently pulled.

Abstract: A fan/pins seat assembly includes a pins seat, an integrated circuit mounted on the pins seat, a finned plate mounted to an upper surface of the integrated circuit and including a plurality fins extending upwardly from an upper side thereof, and a board member mounted to the finned plate and having a fan mounted thereon. The pins seat includes a first engaging member provided thereon, and the board member includes a second engaging member formed thereon for releasably engaging with the first engaging member.

Abstract: A miniature fan assembly includes a base, a coil seat mounted in the base, a fan mounted above the coil seat, and a top plate securely mounted above the fan. The base includes a recess defined therein and an outlet defined in a peripheral wall thereof which defines the recess. The coil seat and the peripheral wall of the base together define a helical air passage therebetween. The coil seat further includes an axle hole defined therein and a coil mounted therearound. The fan includes a head portion with a peripheral wall and a plurality of fan blades extending outwardly from the peripheral wall of the head portion. The fan further includes an axle which is rotatably received in the axle hole of the coil seat. The peripheral wall of the head portion defines a hollow interior therein for accommodating the coil seat.

Abstract: A fan assembly for an integrated circuit includes a finned plate, a board member securely mounted to the finned plate and including a hole defined in a mediate portion thereof, a fan device, and a heat conducting member. The finned plate includes a plurality of rows and columns of fins extending upwardly from an upper side thereof and a space defined in a center of the upper side, each two adjacent fins having a gap defined therebetween. The fan device is mounted to the board member and has a fan rotatably received in the space of the finned plate. The heat conducting member is securely connected to the finned plate or an integrated circuit.

Abstract: A fan device for an integrated circuit includes a finned plate, a fan having a rotor shaft, and a board member mounted to the finned plate. The finned plate includes a plurality of rows and columns of fins extending upwardly from an upper side thereof and a space defined in a center of the upper side, each two adjacent fins having a gap defined therebetween. The board member includes a hole defined in a mediate portion thereof, a support member provided in the hole, and a plurality of ribs extending downwardly from a periphery defining the hole to the support member, the support member including a stud formed on an upper side thereof and having a second hole defined therein for rotatably receiving the rotor shaft of the fan.

Abstract: A fan device for dissipating heat from an electronic component includes a base having a number of upward extending fins. The fins on the side portions are higher than the middle fins. A board is secured above the shorter fins and engaged between the higher fins, and includes a number of orifices for air circulation purposes. The board includes a support engaged in an opening and coupled to the board for securing a fan. Alternatively, the board may be engaged on top of the higher fins, or, the fins may have identical height and include a depression formed in the middle portion for engagement with the fan.
