In summary, the Max Clip system provides an ideal contact to the center of the semiconductor package which results in even force across the point of contact of the device. Aavid offers a broad portfolio of tooled extrusion shapes for single, dual, and multiple device mounting options. Optional serrated slots can be extruded into the base of the profile to allow for PCB mounting pins, or factory installed solder pins are available, with or without a stand-off shoulder. Thermal performance is the primary consideration when choosing a clip. The clip should contact the center of the device to ensure pressure is distributed evenly across the interface. The standard length clip is designed to fit most applications, however Aavid also offers short and long clip options. Aavid also offers one-piece cooling solutions specially designed with an integrated clip to hold and cool TO-220 and TO-247 devices.
