C Series
F E AT U R E S
TO-126, TO-247, TO-220
and TO-264 Package Heatsinks
Ohmite introduces the C series (Pat. Pending). This
series offers high performance, low cost and a
compact heat sink with an integrated camming clip
system for TO-126, TO-220, TO-247 and TO-264
devices. This powerful heat sink provides tool and
fixture free assembly operation, largest surface areas
and smallest space occupation. It is the ideal type of
heat sink for high power density and small size (1U
or 2U) electronic packaging with forced convection
cooling.

• Minimum assembly cost and labor Spring Clips
make the mounting holes, fasteners, tools and
fixtures obsolete in assembly operations & reduce
costs.
• Maximum Thermal Transfer Maximum surface area
per unit volume, efficient cooling fins & consistent
mounting force reduces thermal resistance.
• Maximum Repeatability Constant spring force over
repeated assembly/disassembly.
• Maximum Reliability Resilient spring action locks
electronic component in place. Fewer parts in
assembly and no fasteners and washers required.
Prevent short circuit by eliminating metal particles
generated from hardware or thread tapping.
• Design Flexibility Maximum flexibility for dynamic
device locations and power upgrading. “Configure-
to-Fit” gives designers total freedom to configure
heat sink needed to fit into a multitude design envi-
ronments.
