R2 Series
For TO-220, TO-247, and TO-264
F E AT U R E S
Ohmite’s R2 Series (patent pending) heatsink pro-
vides a large surface area along with our C Series
clipping mechanism to attach to a TO-220, TO-247,
or TO-264 package. The self-aligning features of the
clip assure secure attachment and enhanced thermal
performance. Because no screws are required for
device mounting, additional fins can be added to the
rear side of the heatsink for increased total surface
area in a more compact space.
• Reduced
Assembly Cost:
C Series camming clips
make fasteners and fixtures obsolete, along with
stray metal filings from tapped holes.
• Maximum
Repeatability:
clamping force of the clip
is not degraded by repeated loading and unloading.
• Maximum
Heat Transfer per Unit Space:
maximum
surface area per unit volume and consistent mount-
ing force reduces thermal resistance
• Maximum
Resistance to Shock and Vibration:
light
weight, resilient clips lock the component in place
and are highly resistant to shock and vibration
• Maximum
Reliability:
helps prevent short circuits
by eliminating metal particles from thread tapping
• RoHS
compliant
