Our
premium
Heatsink
Spring
Screws
are
engineered
to
provide
consistent
and
reliable
clamping
force
for
critical
thermal
management
applications.
The
integrated
spring
mechanism
compensates
for
material
expansion/contraction
and
component
height
tolerances,
ensuring
optimal
contact
pressure
between
the
heatsink
and
the
component
(e.g.,
CPU,
GPU,
power
ICs)
over
a
wide
temperature
range.
This
guarantees
superior
thermal
conductivity,
long-term
stability,
and
prevents
damage
to
sensitive
electronics
from
over-torquing.

Primary
Uses
&
Applications
These
screws
are
specifically
designed
for
the
assembly
of
cooling
solutions
in
electronic
devices
where
precise
and
maintained
pressure
is
paramount.
Typical
applications
include:
-
Computer
Hardware:
Securing
CPU
coolers,
GPU
coolers,
VRM
heatsinks,
and
chipset
coolers
to
motherboards
and
PCBs.
-
Power
Electronics:
Mounting
heatsinks
on
power
transistors,
MOSFETs,
IGBT
modules,
and
voltage
regulators
in
power
supplies
and
inverters.
-
LED
Lighting:
Assembling
high-power
LED
arrays
and
modules
where
efficient
heat
dissipation
is
critical
for
longevity.
-
Telecommunications
&
Server
Equipment:
Fastening
heatsinks
in
routers,
switches,
and
server
blades.
-
General
Electronics:
Any
application
requiring
a
sprung
load
to
compensate
for
tolerance
stacks
and
ensure
even
thermal
interface
material
(TIM)
spread.
How
to
Use
-
Preparation:
Ensure
the
motherboard
or
PCB
has
pre-installed
brass
standoffs
(or
threaded
inserts)
with
M3
threading
matching
the
screw's
specification.
-
Alignment:
Place
the
heatsink
onto
the
component,
aligning
the
mounting
holes
of
the
heatsink
with
the
threaded
standoffs
on
the
PCB.
-
Screw
Placement:
Insert
the
spring
screw
through
the
washer
(if
applicable),
then
through
the
heatsink's
mounting
hole.
-
Initial
Threading:
Manually
start
threading
the
screw
into
the
standoff
to
avoid
cross-threading.
-
Tightening:
Using
a
#
Phillips
screwdriver,
tighten
the
screw
until
the
spring
is
partially
compressed.
Crucially,
do
not
overtighten.
The
goal
is
to
compress
the
spring
to
apply
the
correct
force,
not
to
drive
the
screw
until
it
stops.
-
Pattern:
Follow
a
cross
or
star
pattern
(e.g.,
tighten
screws
diagonally)
when
installing
multiple
screws
to
ensure
even
pressure
distribution
and
avoid
warping
the
heatsink
or
PCB.
-
Final
Check:
Ensure
all
springs
are
evenly
compressed
and
the
heatsink
is
firmly
seated
without
any
wobble.
