Abstract
A heat sink includes a body and a heat transmitting member coupled thereto. The body and member are arranged such they each contact a different section of an electronic component, e.g., a PCMCIA card. The heat sink can be integrated into an electronic component connector that enables the heat sink to move parallel with the component during insertion and extraction. The connector can also enable vertical movement of the heat sink during component insertion and extraction.

6. An electronic component connector, comprising:
-
a connector frame capable or receiving an electronic component;
a heat sink vertically and horizontally movably coupled to the connector frame, such that insertion of the component into the connector frame causes the heat sink to move horizontally in parallel with the component and vertically to contact the component. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. The connector of 6, wherein the connector enables further compression of the heat sink against the component after initial contact between the component and the heat sink during insertion.
-
29. The connector of 28, wherein the heat sink comprises a heat sink body, a heat sink frame and springs;
- the heat sink body is assembled movably to the frame with the springs.
-
30. The connector of 13 or 19, wherein the connector enables further compression of the heat sink against the component after initial contact between the component and the heat sink during insertion.
-
31. The connector of 30, wherein the heat sink comprises a heat sink body, a heat sink frame, springs and shafts;
- the heat sink body is assembled movably to the frame with the springs, and the shafts which are inserted into the guard rails protrude from the heat sink frame.
-
32. A method, comprising:
-
receiving an electronic component within a frame of a system component connector;
using ejector to horizontally move a heat sink in parallel with the component; and
using the guard rails to move the heat sink vertically to contacts the component. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54)
