W Series Heatsinks

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and features of the W Series Heatsinks designed for TO-220, TO-247, and TO-264 devices. These heatsinks are engineered to enhance thermal performance and are compliant with RoHS standards.
Specifications:
  • Heatsinks are available for different package types: TO-220, TO-247, and TO-264.
  • Surface area and weight vary by model, with thermal resistance ranging from 7°C/W to 13°C/W under natural convection at 10W heat dissipation.
  • Constructed from aluminum alloy 6063-T5 or equivalent, with a solderable tin-plated spring clip.
  • Electrical isolation can be achieved using Sil-Pad 900S or equivalent materials.
Features:
  • Reduced assembly cost due to the integrated spring clip and auto-align feature, eliminating the need for fasteners and fixtures.
  • Maximum repeatability with consistent clamping force unaffected by repeated use.
  • Enhanced heat transfer per unit space due to optimal surface area and mounting force.
  • High resistance to shock and vibration, ensuring component stability.
  • Improved reliability by preventing short circuits from metal particles.
Design and Dimensions:
  • The heatsinks feature a unique design with a patent-pending integral spring clip and extruded aluminum body.
  • Dimensions are provided for each model, ensuring compatibility with standard through-hole soldering requirements.
Ordering Information:
  • Part numbers are specified for each model, with options for different coatings such as black anodized, degreased, or Alodine 1500 clear.
Performance Graphs:
  • Graphs illustrate the relationship between heat dissipation, mounting surface temperature rise, and thermal resistance under varying air velocities.

W Series Heatsinks-1

The unique design (patent pending) of the W Series heat sinks combines a tin plated, solderable, integral spring clip with an extruded aluminum heat sink body for an all-in-one solution to through-hole mounting of TO-220, TO-247, and TO-264 packages. These self-aligning heat sinks feature solderable feet and an integrated clip with 13.2 (lbf) of force on the center of the device to enhance thermal performance. F E AT URES • Reduced Assembly Cost: spring clip and auto-align feature makes fasteners and fixtures obsolete, along with stray metal filings from tapped holes • Maximum Repeatability: clamping force of the spring clip is not degraded by repeated loading and unloading • Maximum Heat Transfer per Unit Space: maximum surface area per unit volume and consistent mounting force reduces thermal resistance • Maximum Resistance to Shock and Vibration: light weight, resilient spring clip locks the component in place and is highly resistant to shock and vibration • Maximum Reliability: helps prevent short circuits by eliminating metal particles from thread tapping • RoHS Compliant SERiES SPECIFICATIONS Heatsink For Package Ohmite Resistor Surface Area Thermal Part Number Type Series (in2) Weight Resistance* ’Natural convection at 10W heat dissipation Heat Sink Aluminum alloy 6063-T5 or equivalent.
