STUD TYPE DEVICES
|
|
-
The surface under the semiconductor contact surface should be flat to
within 25.4 mm per 25.4 mm and have a surface finish of 0.03mm or
less and must have the heatsink surface free of grease and oxide. The
extruded surface of the aluminum heatsink should be machined before
final assembly.
-
Good thermal contact between the semiconductor device and the
heatsink is obtained through the use of a torque wrench. We would like
to remember that excessive torque may damage the device
permanently.
-
When the stud type device is going to be used in a threaded hole in an
aluminum heatsink it is necessary to be very careful about the
perpendicularity between the surface of the heatsink and the thread.
The limit for this non perpendicularity must be smaller than 0.03 mm. It
is also recommended that the fin hole should be chamfered.
-
It is recommended to use always thermal grease between the stud
device surface and the heatsink surface.
-
If the hole is punched, the fin should be subsequently blanked. If the
hole is drilled, the burr should be carefully removed.
