clipKIT™
Best Heat Sink Attachment Technology for industry standard heat sinks on the market!
clipKIT™ is a line of patented, reliable heat sink attachment assemblies featuring the widely used maxiGRIP™ and superGRIP™ frame clip and spring clip. clipKIT™ is available for 15 – 50mm component packages and is designed for industry standard heat sinks that have a base thickness of 1.75 to 4mm.
Instead of relying on thermal tape or epoxy, which can damage the board or component during rework, the reliable clip attachment system provides a secure hold without the risk of damaging the component or PCB, saving time and cost. The ultra-thin plastic frame clip and stainless steel spring clip are corrosion-resistant, flame retardant and pass Telcordia shock and vibration standards, ensuring the heat sink will securely stay in place on the component in harsh conditions. clipKIT™ attachments eliminate the need to drill holes in a PCB, saving additional board and rework costs. The thin frame clip occupies minimal space around the components perimeter, compared to push pin attachments or stand-off hardware which leaves little space on already overcrowded PCBs. The two-part attachment system provides a uniform force which enhancing heat transfer and improves TIM performance by up to 20%. Click Here for datasheet.
