BGA Heatsinks Keep A Low Profile

Sporting profiles ranging from 19 mm to 45 mm and heights from 6 mm to 13 mm, the INL line of low-profile aluminum BGA heatsinks fits on height-restricted boards and cater specifically to troublesome hot spots on a variety of pc boards. Each heatsink comes with a lightweight mounting clip and thermal interface material and, for ease of installation, is intended for use with the company's EZ Snap hardware. Armed with a tension-mounted BGA clip, the heatsink snaps on and self aligns over the microprocessor without compromising the existing board design or requiring any board modifications. Once installed, the cooler maintains close contact and constant pressure on the chip. Other features include thermal resistances from 5.5°C/W to 0.9°C/W. Available in five packs, pricing is $3.44 each. RADIAN HEATSINKS, Santa Clara, CA. (800) 689-2802.
