Aavid Thermalloy introduces new Slalom SMT heatsink
|
Aavid Thermalloy has announced the new Slalom heatsink (patent pending) suitable for SMT power semiconductor devices in D2PAK packages. |
This new heatsink, which is compatible with current D2PAK solder mask opening, uses solderable “skis” that are staked to an aluminium body. The heatsink together with the device to be cooled is soldered directly to a modified drain pad creating a thermal transfer path from the device to the heatsink. The heat is removed indirectly without any contact between the heatsink and the device as is the case with traditional through hole heatsinks. Additionally the aluminium heatsink body has a black painted finish that provides improved radiation cooling over standard tin plated copper SMT heatsinks. Using aluminium instead of copper also results in lower cost and weight making this technology ideal for high volume pick & place equipment.
