Abstract: A locking retainer system configured to secure an automotive component within a motor vehicle includes a panel defining a T-shaped aperture and a retainer. The T-shaped aperture has a vertical aperture portion and a longitudinal aperture portion. The vertical aperture portion is defined by a first planar portion of the panel and the longitudinal aperture portion is defined by a second planar portion of the panel. The first planar portion is laterally offset from the second planar portion. The retainer has a vertical retainer portion and a longitudinal retainer portion and is attached to the automotive component by an elongated strut intermediate the vertical retainer portion and the automotive component. The panel is configured to receive the retainer within the aperture, thereby securing the automotive component to the panel and limiting motion of the automotive component relative to the panel along vertical, longitudinal, and lateral axes.

Abstract: An electronic assembly includes a printed-circuit-board, an electronic-component, and a heat-sink-element. The printed-circuit-board has a first-surface and a second-surface opposite said first surface. The printed-circuit-board defines a via that connects the first-surface to the second-surface. The electronic-component defines a top-surface and a mounting-surface. The mounting-surface is in direct-contact with the printed-circuit-board. The heat-sink-element is in compressive-contact with both the electronic-component and the printed-circuit-board. The heat-sink-element defines a fin, a shank, and a contact-section therebetween. The contact-section rests on the top-surface, the fin extends above the top-surface, and the shank extends through the via of the printed-circuit-board and beyond the second-surface. The heat-sink-element is configured to transfer heat from the contact-section to the fin and the shank.
