Apparatus, system, and method for dynamic compensation of heatsink-clamping mechanisms

摘要

The disclosed apparatus may include (1) a shoulder bolt that includes (A) a head and (B) a shank, (2) a retention barrel that envelops at least a portion of the shank of the shoulder bolt, (3) a coil spring that envelops at least a portion of the shank of the shoulder bolt and resides between the head of the shoulder bolt and a heatsink, and (4) a travel-limiting component (such as a set screw or a sleeve) that (A) is coupled to the retention barrel and (B) limits the heatsink from travelling linearly beyond a travel threshold via the coil spring. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
