Case 2

Every system application has different conditions that the thermal management solution must solve. As an

alternate example, assume that the air reaching the component is 85

C with an approach velocity of 1

m/sec. For a maximum junction temperature of 105

C at 8 W, the total thermal resistance of junction to

case thermal resistance plus thermal interface material plus heat sink thermal resistance must be less than

2.5

C/W. The value of the junction to case thermal resistance in Table 49 includes the thermal interface

resistance of a thin layer of thermal grease as documented in footnote 4 of the table. Assuming that the

heat sink is flat enough to allow a thin layer of grease or phase change material, then the heat sink must be

less than 1.5

C/W.

Millennium Electronics (MEI) has tooled a heat sink MTHERM-1051 for this requirement assuming a

compactPCI environment at 1 m/sec and a heat sink height of 12 mm. The MEI solution is illustrated in

Figure 46 and Figure 47. This design has several significant advantages:

•

The heat sink is clipped to a plastic frame attached to the application board with screws or plastic

inserts at the corners away from the primary signal routing areas.

•

The heat sink clip is designed to apply the force holding the heat sink in place directly above the

die at a maximum force of less than 10 lbs.

•

For applications with significant vibration requirements, silicone damping material can be applied

between the heat sink and plastic frame.
