This family of clips has been designed to provide the
maximum amount of pressure (essential for effective heat
transfer) for a heat sink/CPU/socket assembly. This is
especially important for large heat sinks or high shock
and vibration environments. Each clip applies pressure at
two points and when used as a pair, four pressure points
surround the center of the CPU, improving heat transfer.
Inquiries for custom design are invited.
Sink-to-CPU
This series of clips is used to fasten heat sinks
directly to the PGA packages which are either socketed or
mounted directly to the board. Two force series are
available. The low force version is designed for low
power devices while the high force series is designed for
rugged shock and vibration environments and/or high watt
density applications.
