Aavid Announces Surface Mount Heat Sink for DPak; Tape and Reel Design for Pick and Place in Highly Automated Production Lines.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 4, 1997--Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :AATT AATT Advanced Air Transportation Technologies (NASA air traffic control project) AATT Advanced Aviation Transportation Technology AATT Advanced Air Traffic Technologies (US FAA) AATT Absolute Arrival Time Technique ), the world's leader in providing thermal management solutions, announces the latest surface mountable heat sink A material that absorbs heat. Typically made of aluminum, heat sinks are widely used in amplifiers and other electronic devices that build up heat. Small heat sinks are the most economical method for cooling microprocessors and other chips. for maximized cooling and minimized board real estate for the DPak power device (JEDEC The division of the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) that deals with semiconductor standards (officially, the JEDEC Solid State Technology Association of EIA). JEDEC was formed in 1958 when the Joint Electron Tube Engineering Council (JETEC) split into two Joint Electron Device TO-252). Aavid's new SMT (1) (Surface Mount Technology) See surface mount. (2) (Station ManagemenT) An FDDI network management protocol that provides direct management. Only one node requires the software. SMT - Station Management (surface mount technology) product offers substantial thermal performance results when compared to more costly and space consuming metal substrate solutions. The heat sinks are available packaged in standard tape and reel packaging for automated assembly using pick-and-place equipment. "As electronic assembly shifts to surface mount technology, designers require heat sinks that are compact atry manager. "The DPak requires only an additional .090-inch on each side of the semiconductor mounting pad making it a truly compact, high density, low profile, optimized solution," Schindler added. Expanding Performan the maximum power handling capability of the thermal solutions of high conductivity coppermbly using standard vacuum pick-and-place equipment. Aavid's surface mount thermal solutions offer a ls The DPak thermal solution is a unation. Heat moves from the semiconductor through its thermal transfer See thermal wax transfer printer and direct thermal printer. plate, through the printed circuit board's copper metalization and solder joint, and up the fins of the heat sink, where convection cools the device. Availability and Pricing Samples of the DPak solution are now available and the product will begin shipping in production quantities by December. The product is priced at $0.27 each in quantities of 10,000 in tape and reel packaging.
