Wave Series BGA Heat Sink
The Wakefield-Vette Wave Series Heat Sink Series are a superior choice for cooling BGA applications in which limited height/footprint while achieving maximum surface area. The Wave Series Heat Sinks include a unique clipping mechanism that allows for superior heat transfer while securing the heat sink to the BGA itself. The clipping mechanism allows for easy installation in high production assembly.
