Appl. No.:

09/964233

Inventors:

Peter A. Davison - Puyallup WA
Lee M. Langseth - Hillsboro OR
Patrick S. Johnson - Tacoma WA

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

H05K 720

US Classification:

361704, 361707, 361709, 174 163, 165 803, 257718, 257719, 257727, 24453, 24297, 411508, 411509, 411510

Abstract:

The present invention relates to an electronic assembly that includes an integrated circuit package, a heat sink, and a fastener which connects the heat sink to the integrated circuit package to cool the integrated circuit package. The fastener includes a stem that extends through the heat sink and the integrated circuit package. The fastener further includes a clamp that is connected to one end of the stem and a spring head that is connected to an opposing end of the stem. The spring head includes a first biasing member that extends around the longitudinal axis of the stem to compress the heat sink and the integrated circuit package against the clamp in order to reduce the thermal impedance between the heat sink and the integrated circuit package.
