Shurlock™ Tabs


Factory applied only

The rounded and bifurcated tip of the Shur-Lock™ solderable tab has been designed to easily snap into any 0.093 inch diameter PC Board hole. Once through the hole, the tab provides a positive resistance to backing or falling out of the hole. In addition, the spring action between the tab and the plated through hole prevents leaning or lift-off of the heat sink prior to or during the soldering process. The tip extension of the Shur-Lock™ tab has been designed to protrude less than 0.060 inch beyond the back of a standard .0625 inch PC board, which is below the normal lead trimming allowance for assembled PCBs.

Solderable Mounting Tabs


Heat sinks ordered with solderable mounting tabs have tin-plated spring steel tabs permanantly locked onto the heat sink to provide wave solderability. The solderable tabs are mounted on the heat sink after anodizing, thus eliminating any special coating or handling. The result is a wave solderable heat sink with black anodized performance.     Typical Installation

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 Pins

Factory applied only

Vertically mounted, extruded heat sinks are converted to wave solderable with the addition of solderable roll pins. Roll pins are available with stand-off shoulders in differant heights for easier cleaning after wave soldering.

Dim. A = Stand-off shoulder size available in 1.27mm and 3.175mm
