Semiconductor Mounting

Female and Male Mounts
Semiconductor Mounts secure the heat sinks to semiconductors via machine screws or nuts. When used with a self-feeding screw driver it is up to 10 times faster than fastening with standard nuts and bolts. They are used with most JEDEC case sizes, factory installed.

Clinch Nuts
Clinch nuts are threaded nuts that allow quick assembly of the transistor to the heat sink. A single screw mounts the transistor to the heat sink, reducing your hardware requirements. Clinch nuts are permanently presses into the heat sink, and come in a variety of English and Metric threads-CNE designates an English thread, and CNM designates a Metric thread.

Solderable Studs
Solderable Stud
  • Solderable studs are permanently swaged into the heat sink for quick preassembly with the transistor.
  • The device is placed over the stud(s) followed by the lock washer and nut.
  • The entire component is then dropped into plated-thru holes in the PC board.

    * These studs are designed for 2.34mm (0.092”) and thicker PC boards.

    SE6 stud has nominal standoff of
    ±.25mm (0.010”) and is considered a flush
    mount.

    * Dimension and tolerance apply to
    stud only, not spacing between heat sink
    and PC board.

    Ordering Information:
    Example 12 digit part:

    Thermalloy origin part Add the three character suffix after the model number.

    a=Model Number
    c=Stud Number

    Note:
    To specify the number of solderable studs required in some models (i.e., 6060, 6061, 6072, and 6080), add the number of studs after the solderable stud suffix as follows: 6072B-SE3/1 for one stud and 6072B-SE3/2 for two studs.

    Wave-On-Mounts
    Solderable mounts can be factory installed to practically every board-mountable heat sink and flat sided extrusion. The female threaded through holes permit preassembly to the semiconductor via machine screws. This allows the heat sink/semiconductor package to be treated as one unit when fitted in PC board thru-holes for wave soldering.

    Solderable Nuts
    • Solderable nuts are permanently swaged into the heat sink for quick pre-assembly with the transistor.
    • The device is mounted to the heat sink with screws installed from the top, and the entire component is dropped into the plated-thru hole in the PC board.
    • Solderable nuts feature a closed end that prevents solder from wicking into threads and trapping contaminants or flux.

    Add the four character suffix after the model number.
    For example:

    Note: To specify the number of solderable nuts required in some models (i.e., 6054, 6072 and 6080), add the number of nuts after the solderable nut suffix, for example, 6072B-SNE1/ 1 for one nut and 6072B-SNE1/2 for two nuts.

    Device Mounting Studs
    • Device mounting studs are available as options on certain vertical and board mount heat sinks as a time-saving aid for mounting semiconductors.
    • This option feature speeds up production assembly time and reduces hardware requirements.
