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 NPI Process Engineer Newbridge Networks Corporation ############################################################## TechNet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ############################################################## To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TECHNET <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TECHNET ############################################################## Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information.
