Thermal T-Clips

Suitable for Mounting Semiconductors to Heatsinks

The use of pressure to mount discrete power semi-conductors has been rapidly growing. It has proven to be a cost effective technique and it can improve the overall performance of the discrete semiconductor. Trocad's T- Clips with a gull wing design offer a easy way of mounting two plastic case transistors in a small place. These T- Clips provide several advantages

• T-Clips are quick mounting, space saving easy to apply and cost effective

• Allows plastic case transistors to operate at higher voltages than the traditional screw and insulating bush method. For superior higher voltage breakdown protection the combination of clips and Thermal Tubes is an ideal solution.

• Application of force off-centre (i.e. bolting a device to heatsink) leads to uneven thermal contact being applied. Using clip mounting ensures that the force is applied uniformly and that the thermal contact is good.

T-Clips are available in two Sizes TO-220 (TO128,TO126, TO-218) and TO-3P (TO247, SOT-93). They are Zinc plated. Nylon coating for improved insulation is an option but is expensive.
