A replacement for a CPU heat sink fastener/CPU clamp

orwa

Can you please guide me into the name technically given to this PCB plastic CPU heat sink fastener or CPU clamp?

It is for a Pentium 4 processor and it is broken. I removed it from the PCB and willing to buy a replacement, assumedly from an electronic parts shop on the internet. The problem is that I do not know what is it called and unable to find a place that sells it.

Thank you in advance for the help.

To a moderator: please help me with the BBCode tag above because people's ability to directly see the photo is crucial to them helping me and I would like to help them help me.

I might be able to help, and I was able to retrieve the photo.

I think I have a clamp base like that on a dead motherboard. I'll dig it out, and if it's the same it's yours for postage.

About the best I can offer, and I'll post a picture when I can.

A very decent offer that is. Thank you very much.

I can pay you easily using PayPal if you have an account. My address in case you was able to successfully dig it out and it was the same is:

P.O. Box 946
KFMMC, Bldg. 54-502
31392 Dhahran (Saudi Arabia)

Approximate dimensions of the virtual box enclosing the plastic part (the metal part excluded) are: 7.5cm (≈3'') × 2.7cm (≈1'') × 1.2cm (0.5''), and the distance between the two pins that plug into the PCB holes is 3.9cm (≈1.5'').[/u]
