Fischer Elektronik offers the smallest ribbon heatsinks

It is often obvious to the end user that end devices in the electronics sector are becoming ever smaller, more compact and more powerful. At the same time, the packing densities of the circuit boards being used are also increasing, which ultimately leads to an increase in the temperature of the electronic devices being used. Temperatures outside a specified range according to the data sheet damage or destroy the device in the long term, in the worst case the entire assembly.

With the SMD heatsink product group Fischer Elektronik offers the smallest ribbon heatsinks, also available as tape & reel as standard now, especially for cooling electronic devices on the PCB. The packaging form of the SMD heatsinks as a tape & reel supports and simplifies the automatic assembly and soldering process of the PCB, as the SMD heatsinks can be handled in a similar way to an SMT component.

The heatsink designs ICK SMD A 13 ... B TR, ICK SMD F 8 ... TR, ICK SMD F 21 ... B TR, ICK SMD K 19 ... B TR, ICK SMD N 8 ... TR and ICK SMD N 19 ... B TR are optionally available with a black anodised or solderable surface coating as a tape & reel (TR) version. Depending on the position of the SMD heatsink in the tape, an additional kapton point acts as a mounting aid (B). The tape diameter for all designs is 330 mm, with a tape width of 16, 24 or 32 mm, depending on the heatsink size. All specifications, such as tape diameter, tape width and the number of SMD heatsinks on a reel, can also be adapted to customer-specific requirements.
