Hello all,

Does anyone out there know anything about surface mount heatsinks? This
would be a heatsink that is placed over top of a component before reflow
and attached directly to the board during the reflow process, or is
attached to some secondary features, which they themselves are attached
by surface mount.
Who makes them?  Were can I get them? How well do they work?
Any info would be much appreciated...........................Paul Brown
