1. A clip for clamping a heat sink module to an electronic module, said clip comprising:

  • (a) a substantially horizontal grid which includes a plurality of spaced ribs, said grid having a central section which has a first end and an opposite second end, a first resilient end section which is fixed to the first end of said central section and a second resilient end section which is fixed to the second end of said central section, said first and second resilient end sections extending upwardly from said central section, said first and second end sections being resiliently deflectable relative to said central section from an upper non-clamping position to a lower clamping position;

    (b) a first vertical leg which is fixed to said first resilient end section, said first vertical leg extending downwardly from said first resilient end section and having a first projection, said first projection having a first upwardly facing edge surface which slants downwardly toward said grid; and

    (c) a second vertical leg which is fixed to said second resilient end section and having a second projection, said second projection having a second upwardly facing edge surface which slants downwardly toward said grid, said first and second projections moving towards each other when said first and second resilient end sections are moved from said non-clamping position to said clamping position.
