Abstract
Abstract The present invention is to provide a dissipator mounting apparatus having a metal plate and a metal snap ring, where the two sides of the metal plate stretch upward and form an elastic tilt angle, and on one end of the metal plate bends downward and forms an opening to be firmly received in the barb of the ZIF socket, while the other end of the metal plate forms another hole for holding the snap ring whose rods stretch horizontally inward from the gap. Thus the CPU and the dissipator board can be tightly combined together with the help of the mounting apparatus.
