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, and an opposing top surface 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 inwardly into the flexible space, thereby allowing the insertion unit to be inserted longitudinally into the recess in the thermal module, and wherein in a locked position, the elastic press arms are released within the recess such that the stop sections engage with passages defined between inner surfaces of two adjacent radiating fins, thereby preventing longitudinal removal of the fastening structure from the thermal module.
