Wire Clips / Sheet Metal Clips	• Low cost heat sink attachment. • Available in different types of mechanical heat sink attachments including formed round wire clips for medium normal force and stamped band clips for high normal force.	Board Level Applications	Telecom, Datacom, PC, Servers, Set-Top, Power Supplies

Thermal Interface Materials

Interface materials are a primary factor in the success of a sound and reliable thermal solution. In many cases the interface material serves a secondary role as a dielectric, mechanical bond, or CTE match in a design. There are many types (phase change, tapes, grease, or gap pads) and classes (electrically isolating, RoHS compliant) of TIM. We will assist you to choose/design the appropriate TIM for your devices and applications.
