Patent ID: 8050038

Claim:
A heat dissipation device adapted for dissipating heat from an electronic component mounted on a printed circuit board, the heat dissipation device comprising: a fin unit; a heat-conducting board for being attached to the electronic component, two engaging portions, each of the two engaging portions comprises an upright section protruding upwardly from a top face of the heat-conducting board and a pressing section bent inwardly from a distal end of the upright section, the pressing section of the each of the two engaging portions extend towards each other; a heat pipe thermally connecting the fin unit and the heat-conducting board, and the heat pipe extending between the two engaging portions; and a clip disposed on the heat pipe, the clip comprises an elongated main body, two arms extending outwardly from two opposite lateral sides of a central part of the main body respectively, and two pairs of sidewalls, each pair of the two pairs of sidewalls formed at each of the two longitudinal ends of the main body and extending downwardly from each of the two opposite lateral sides of the main body, wherein each of the two arms of the clip abut against a corresponding bottom face of the pressing section of the two engaging portions pressing two opposite ends of the clip downwardly to urge the clip to press the heat pipe towards the heat-conducting board, thereby securing the heat pipe to the top face of the heat-conducting board.
