A new range of bolt-on and clip-on heat sinks from leading manufacturer Fischer Elektronik is now available from Rapid Electronics, providing an extensive range of thermal management solutions. This high performance hardware has been designed for optimum cooling of devices in TO-220, SOT-32 and TO-3P semiconductor packages. Made from aluminium, giving high thermal conductivity and optimum device contact, their black anodised finish increases radiative heat loss to maximise efficiency. As a further efficiency measure, the clip-on types have been designed so that the cooling fingers form spring clamps, pushing the component and its mounting flange onto the heatsink where, due to the constant pressure on the entire contact surface, effective thermal management is achieved. With both bolt on and clip on fixing configurations, with and without solder pins, these Fischer Elektronik heat sinks can be both vertically and horizontally mounted. Also available are D-PAK compatible copper-based heat sinks with a…
