Heat sink attachment clip

A heat sink attachment clip for attaching a heat sink assembly to a frame, the heat sink attachment clip comprising:

• a pair of attachment brackets;
• each attachment bracket having two attachment legs;
• each attachment leg having an clip attachment means for engagement with one of four corresponding frame attachment means at four attachment points on the frame;
• each attachment bracket having a heat sink engagement surface adjacent the heat sink assembly;
• each attachment bracket having a levered cam for bearing on the engagement surface to press against the heat sink assembly, the levered cam moveable from a first position in which the engagement surface does not engage the engagement surface to a second position in which the cam bears on the engagement surface which bears on the heat sink;
• and
• a single throw lever for effecting engagement of the attachment brackets by causing the attachment clip to bear against the heat sink assembly while substantially simultaneously exerting tension at the four attachment points using the four attachment legs.

• a pair of attachment brackets;
• each attachment bracket having one or more attachment legs;
• each attachment leg having a clip attachment means for engagement with a corresponding frame attachment means;
• a heat sink press pad adjacent the heat sink;
• a levered cam for bearing on the press pad to press against the heat sink assembly, the levered cam moveable from a first position in which the press pad does press the heat sink assembly against the frame to a second position in which the cam bears on the pressure pad which presses the heat sink assembly against the frame;
• and
• a handle connecting the levered cams of the two attachment clips so that movement of the handle engages both levered cams simultaneously.
