Rotatable latch for compressing thermal interface material between a heat generating electrical component and a cooling electrical component

A heat dissipation apparatus, the heat dissipation apparatus comprising:

• a heat generating electrical component, wherein a thermal interface material is adhered to the bottom of the heat generating electrical component;
• a cooling electrical component;
• a draw rod coupled at one end to the cooling electrical component, the draw rod passing through the heat generating electrical component;
• wherein the draw rod includes a pin on the end opposite the end coupled to the cooling electrical component;
• and
• a rotatable latch coupled to the heat generating electrical component, the rotatable latch including a hook at one end;
• wherein when the rotatable latch is in an engaged position, the hook of the rotatable latch engages the pin of the draw rod such that the thermal interface material adhered to the heat generating component is coupled to the cooling electrical component;
• wherein when the rotatable latch is in an unengaged position, the hook of the rotatable latch is not engaged with the pin of the draw rod.
