Abstract:
1. A fastening structure connecting a longitudinally extending thermal module to a mainboard, the thermal module comprising a plurality of transverse radiating fins arranged along a length thereof, a bottom surface disposed on the mainboard, an opposing top surface, and opposing side surfaces each comprising a recess, the fastening structure comprising: opposing first and second body sections, wherein: wherein in an insertion position, the elastic press arms are deflected outwardly away from the flexible space, thereby allowing the insertion unit to be slid longitudinally over the to surface with the insertion sections aligned with the recesses in the opposing side surfaces of the thermal module, and wherein in a locked position, the elastic press arms are released such that the stop sections engage with passages defined between two adjacent radiating fins, thereby preventing longitudinal removal of the fastening structure from the thermal module.
