Abstract
An item of electrical equipment includes an electronic board, an electronic component fixed onto the electronic board and disposed parallel to the electronic board, and a heat sink configured to dissipate the heat emitted by the electronic component. A retention member supports a bearing element which presses onto the electronic component in a direction orthogonal to the electronic board and in a direction away from the electronic component relative to the electronic board. The bearing element is configured to press the electronic components onto the heat sink.

An electrical equipment, comprising:
- an electronic board;
- an electronic component, the electronic component being fixed onto the electronic board and disposed parallel to the electronic board;
- an additional electronic component, the additional electronic component being fixed onto the electronic board and disposed parallel to the electronic board;
- a heat sink, which is configured to dissipate heat emitted by the electronic component;
- and
- a retention member, which supports a bearing element and an additional bearing element, the bearing element and the additional bearing element pressing onto the electronic component and the additional electronic component respectively in a direction orthogonal to the electronic board and in a direction away from the electronic component relative to the electronic board, the bearing elements being configured to press the electronic components onto the heat sink, the retention member being fork-shaped, a first branch of the fork supporting the bearing element, a second branch of the fork supporting the additional bearing element, a section of the fork being supported by the electronic board, the bearing element and the retention member being two distinct parts, and the bearing element being a pin.
