A heat dissipation device includes a heat sink and a fixing base for
securing the heat sink to a heat-generating device. The heat sink
includes a base and a pair of flanges formed on two opposite sides of the
base. The fixing base includes a pair of side plates formed on a first
set of two opposite sides thereof. A pair of resilient barbs extends
inwards from an end portion of each side plate. The fixing base is placed
on the heat sink and the resilient barbs tightly clasp first two opposite
sides of the heat-generating device to press the base of the heat sink
towards the heat-generating device. The flanges of the base of the heat
sink abut second two opposite sides of the heat-generating device to
avoid movement of the heat sink along a direction perpendicular to the
flanges.
