SCREWCLAMP EASY2

APPLICATION NOTE Date:2003-02-14 Page 1 of 10 AN-Number: AN2003-01 (replaces AN2002-06) Mounting instructions for EasyPIM / EasyPACK modules with screw clamps 1. General information The mounting instructions outlined below are recommended for the safe and reliable operation of these modules in industry standard applications. These recommendations are based on our experiences gained during laboratory and field tests. Described is the mounting of EasyPIM- and EasyPACK modules (case style Easy1 and Easy2). These modules are intended to be mounted on a circuit board (PCB) 1,6 0,2 mm thick. To attach the module to the heat sink reliable and simple appropriate screw clamps are available for each type of module. Each module is bolted with two screw clamps on the heat sink. These clamps can orded from eupec separately. side view clamp Clamp for eupec GmbH Clamp for EasyPIM2/EasyPACK2 Max-Planck-Strae 5 EasyPIM1/EasyPACK1 D-59581 Warstein Autor / author: Ingo Graf Tel. +49(0)2902 764-1141 Fax +49(0)2902 764-1150 Email: Ingo.Graf eupec.com www.eupec.com An Infineon Technologies Company Mounting instructions for EasyPIM / EasyPACK modules with screw clamps Date:2003-02-14 Page 2 of 10 AN-Number: AN2003-01 (replaces AN2002-06) 2. Fastening the screw clamp in the module First the two clamps are inserted into the clamp guides on each side until they lock in place. Care has to be taken that the clamps are put in perpendicular to the sides of the housing, in order to avoid binding of the clamp in the plastic. The clamps should not be deformed or bent during this process (avoid any excess force on the screw hole flange and hook area). Inserted properly, the clamps are locked in place and can not fall out during further assembly steps. Note: No foreign materials are allowed between module and clamp as well as in the clamp guides. 1. 2. 3. 3. Soldering the module into the PCB The EasyPIM / EasyPACK module is locked into the circuit board (PCB) first. Locking takes place via the locking hooks present on the module into the appropriate holes of the PCB (for hole pattern and layout: see data sheet).
