Patent ID: 7529090

Claim:
A heat dissipation device for dissipating heat generated by electronic components mounted on an add-on card, comprising: a heat sink comprising a base plate attached to the add-on card and thermally connecting with a primary electronic component mounted on the added-on card and a plurality of fins located at a top of the base plate; and a conductor base connecting with the base plate of the heat sink and thermally connecting with other electronic components around the primary electronic component to dissipate heat generated by the other electronic components, wherein the conductor base comprises a plurality of elongated bodies, and a cantilever extends from an inner side of each of the bodies to connect with the base plate of the heat sink; wherein the other electronic components each have a first height while the primary electronic component has a second height which is different from the first height and; wherein at least a gap is defined between the conductor base and the base plate of the heat sink to receive further other electronic components therein, the further other electronic components being higher than the primary and the other electronic components.
