SPRING springs-top

Springs are used in combination with Push Pins (PIP) or Shoulder Screws (SS) to mechanically attach the heat sink to the PCB and generate a specific load/pressure on the thermal interface material.

The following springs are available and can be used to arrive at a target load based on design variables such as board thickness, device height, and device contact area size. To choose the appropriate spring, please visit Spring Selection page.

If the available spring selection does not meet with your current requirements, please contact Alpha Sales for further support.

For more details regarding heat sink attachment, please visit our Heat Sink Attachment page.
