Announcement of Solderless Anchor
Issue Date: 2008/02/15
Alpha is proud to announce the availability of a Solderless Z-clip Anchor. These new anchors are used to attach heat sinks to the PCB with our standard wire Z-Clips.
The Solderless anchor would function identically to the existing solder anchors, but offer the following features/benefits:
- Inserted/locked through slot in the backside of board
greatly improving pullout strength over solder joint
- Snap in mechanical attachment does not require soldering
- Simple design is inexpensive to manufacture and assemble
Two different sizes are currently available to cover standard PCB thickness ranges of ~ 1.6mm and 2.6mm.
For more details, please visit our anchor page.
