Heat sink assembly

1. A heat sink assembly comprising:

a heat spreader;

a plurality of fins extending from the heat spreader;

a fastener having a head and a shaft extending through the heat spreader, the head being adapted for receiving a rotation force from a fastening tool; and

a hollow sleeve comprising a cylindrical wall, an upper open end and a lower open end, and an annular pedestal perpendicularly connected with the cylindrical wall and located in the lower open end, wherein the head of the fastener contacts the pedestal of the sleeve and is received in and surrounded by the cylindrical wall of the sleeve.

2. The heat sink assembly of claim 1 , wherein the shaft extends downwardly from the head and has a threaded bottom end.

3. The heat sink assembly of claim 2 , wherein the shaft passes the sleeve through the upper and lower open ends.

4. The heat sink assembly of claim 2 , wherein an annular recess is defined in the shaft, and an annulus is received in the recess after the annular recess of the shaft is passed through the spreader.

5. The heat sink assembly of claim 1 , wherein a spring is compressed between the head and the spreader for urging the spreader in a direction away from the head of the fastener.

6. A heat sink assembly comprising:

a heat sink;

a fastener having a head and a shaft extending from the head through the heat sink; and

a hollow sleeve in which the head of the fastener is mounted, the hollow sleeve surrounding the head of the fastener, adapted for receiving a fastening tool to fit with the head of the fastener, the hollow sleeve having an annular pedestal formed at a bottom thereof, the head of the fastener contacting and being located above the pedestal.

7. The heat sink assembly of claim 6 , wherein the sleeve comprises a cylindrical wall, an upper open end and a lower open end.

8. The heat sink assembly of claim 7 , wherein the shaft passes through the sleeve, and the head is received in the wall.

9. The heat sink assembly of claim 8 , wherein the pedestal is perpendicularly connected with the cylindrical wall and located in the lower open end of the sleeve.

10. The heat sink assembly of claim 6 , wherein the heat sink comprises a heat spreader and a plurality of fins extending from the heat spreader, a plurality of ears being formed at corners of the heat spreader, each of the ears defining a through hole therein with a step portion formed in the hole.

11. The heat sink assembly of claim 6 , wherein an annular recess is defined in the shaft, and an annulus is received in the recess after the annular recess of the shaft is passed through the heat sink.

12. The heat sink assembly of claim 10 , wherein a spring is compressed between the head and the step portion of the heat spreader for urging the heat spreader in a direction away from the head.

13. A heat sink assembly comprising:

a heat sink;

a fastener adapted for securing the heat sink relative to a printed circuit board so that the heat sink can thermally contact with a heat generating device on the printed circuit board, comprising:

a head adapted for receiving a rotation force and a push force from a fastening tool;

a shaft extending downwardly from the head and having a threaded bottom end;

a sleeve made of plastic surrounding the head, the sleeve comprising:

a pedestal; and

a cylindrical wall extending upwardly from the pedestal, the head being located above and contacting the pedestal and being totally surrounded by the cylindrical wall, whereby the fastening tool will not easily escape from the head when the fastening tool applies the rotation and push forces to the head.

14. The heat sink assembly of claim 13 , wherein the heat sink has a heat spreader adapted for thermally contacting with the heat generating electronic device, fins extending upwardly from the heat spreader and an ear extending outwardly from the heat spreader, the shaft of the fastener being extended through the ear to reach a position in which the threaded bottom end is located below the ear and the head and the sleeve are located above the ear.

15. The heat sink assembly of claim 14 , wherein the sleeve has an upper open end and a lower open end, the pedestal extending perpendicularly from the cylindrical wall in the lower open end.

16. The heat sink assembly of claim 15 , further comprising a spring surrounding the shaft and compressed between the ear and the head of the fastener.

17. The heat sink assembly of claim 16 further comprising an annulus and wherein the shaft defines a recess in a circumferential periphery thereof, the annulus snapping in the annulus at a location below the ear.

18. The heat sink assembly of claim 13 further comprising an annulus and wherein the shaft defines a recess in a circumferential periphery thereof, the annulus snapping in the annulus at a location below the heat sink.
