The plate member (51) has a top surface (54) and a bottom surface (52). The plate member (51) further includes a top side edge (44), a bottom side edge (46), a left side edge (48) and a right side edge (50). Retaining means are formed in a central portion of the bottom surface (52) of the plate member (51) to releasably hold the heat sink. The first and second end portions (53a, 53b) are pivotally connected on opposite sides of two of the four side edges (44-50) of the plate member (51) and include hooked portions (70a, 70b) for releasably engaging a bottom surface of the Murphy-type carrier.
