- the vertically extending portions 62 extend from the bottom frame 2 and have receiving slots 61 that are designed to receive clips 71 formed on the vertical extensions 64 of the heat sink 6.
- the vertically extending portions 62 may be plastic components, and as such, allow the heat sink clips 71 to elastically snap into the slots 61, thereby securing the heat sink 6 to the bottom frame 2.
- the arrow indicates how the heat sink clips 71 are pressed downward onto the bottom frame slots 61.
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of interior components of the set top box 1.
- the set top box 1 may include a second central depression 90 that contacts a secondary thermal pad 99 associated with the smart card reader 3.
- the bottom frame 2 may include a smart card access slot 91 below the circuit board 5 and one of the vertical extensions 64 of the heat sink 6.

- the perimeter of the hold down 130 includes retainers 103 arranged at the ends of the hold down 130.
- the retainers 103 are shaped to match and engage mating locations provided on at least the bottom frame 2.
- the heat sink 6 may also include mating locations for the retainers 103.
- the hold down 130 is preferably constructed from a rigid flexible material, such as a wire or multiple wires, preferably 304 stainless steel, that may extend diagonally to bias the heat sink 6 downwards against the thermal pad 9 and to provide contact between the circuit board 5, the thermal pad 9, and the central depression 53 of the heat sink 6 for proper thermal dissipation.
- the wires may cross each other such that one wire includes a bent portion that extends below the other wire.
- the region where the hold down components or wires cross can be centralized to be over the central depression and can inside the central depression.
- the hold down or wires can be applied to the prior art assemblies to enhance heat transfer to the heatsink.
- the hold down 130 may be formed from a resilient material.
- the hold down 130 is preferably dimensioned such that the hold down 130 is tensioned when installed and exerts a biasing force across the top of the heat sink 6 or at a specific location on the heat sink 6 after the retainers 103 of the hold down 130 engage the mating locations of the bottom frame 2 and the heat sink 6.
- the top surface of the heat sink 6 may define a longitudinal plane and the frame of the hold down 130 may extend in this plane or in a parallel plane.
- the hold down 130 engages the mating locations of the bottom frame 2 and the heat sink 6 and the hold down 130 engages the top surface of the heat sink 6, the heat sink 6 and the hold down 130 bows in the downward direction away from the initial plane or planes.
- the hold down 130 may also include end portions that rise vertically above the longitudinal plane of the heat sink 6. The extent of the hold down 130 between the end portions may bow downwardly to apply force to the heat sink 6.
- the hold down 130 may include a central portion that extends downward into the central depression 53 of the heat sink 6 and along the inner contours of the central depression 53 such that the hold down 130 is in further contact with the heat sink 6 and movement is further reduced. As compared to existing set top boxes, the hold down 130 allows for a thinner thermal pad 9 to be used because of the biasing force from the hold down 130 on the heat sink 6.
- Figures 5-8 show various features of the set top box 1 and the hold down
- FIG. 5 shows an assembled cutaway view of the set top box 1 with the hold down 130 pressing the central depression 53 of the heat sink 6 downward onto the thermal pad 9 on the circuit board 5.
- the heat sink 6 may include grooves 67 that are sufficiently deep to receive the hold down 130 and prevent the hold down 130 from protruding above the heat sink 6. The grooves 67 allow the vertical height of the set top box 1 to remain the same as compared to set top boxes without a hold down.
- the vertical extensions 64 of the heat sink 6 may also include cut out portions 140 that are shaped to receive portions of the hold down 130.
- Figure 6 is sectional side view of the set top box 1 and illustrates the improved contact of the bottom surface of the central depression 53 with the thermal pad 9 as compared to existing set top boxes.
- Figure 7 illustrates the slots 61 on the bottom frame 2 for receiving the clips 71 of the heat sink 6, and the slots 92 for receiving the retainers 103 at the ends of the hold down 130.
- Figure 8 shows alternative embodiments of the retainers 103 of the hold down 130 and illustrates the retainers 103 may include any suitable end which secures the hold down 130 with the mating locations of the bottom frame 2 and the heat sink 6.
- the retainers 103 may include ends 132 with U-shaped or V-shaped inward contours that engage the slots 92 of the bottom frame 2 and the slots 120 of the heat sink 6.
- the retainers 103 may alternatively include ends 134 with a first vertical portion, a lower horizontal portion, and second vertical portion which engage the slots 92, 120 of the bottom frame 2 and heat sink 6. As noted above, the ends 132, 134 may engage the slots 92, 120 in such a way to tension the hold down 130.
