  • Spring clip for fixing semiconductor modules to a heat sink
    Patent number: 6431259
    Abstract: In order to fix a semiconductor module to a heat sink, the semiconductor module and the heat sink are clamped together by one or more clips made of spring material, i.e. spring clips. A mutually matched form of the spring clips optimizes the connection between the heat sink and the semiconductor modules. A respective connection of clip body and heat sink or semiconductor module is advantageously effective in such a way that the spring clip can be inserted into a respective spring clip receptacle and holds automatically on/in the heat sink or semiconductor module.
