TEM Products Inc., a manufacturer of mechanical components for electro-mechanical assembly, has released its new patent-pending PowerPeg thermal connectors.
Designed for attachment to an external dissipater, the new PowerPeg thermal connectors offer significantly improved thermal conductivity compared to traditional PCB heat spreading methods by allowing heat to dissipate more efficiently from the chip and out of the PCB assembly. In many applications, says the company, use of the new PowerPeg connectors enables designers to reduce cost and save circuit board real-estate because fewer components are needed and/or devices in smaller packages can be substituted.
