Mounting Hybrid DC-DC Converters, including Thermal Considerations

Focus:

This 6 and a half min. minute video describes mounting techniques and thermal management considerations that apply when mounting the company's hybrid dc-dc converters to a customer's pc board. The company's packaging options including down-leaded, side-leaded, and up-leaded as well as flange or non-flange options are discussed. The presenter explains how these connect to the customer's pc board and offers tips for getting the best thermal transfer from the hybrid to the PCB or a heat-spreader like an aluminum plate. Dead-bug mounting is also discussed. Video starts by describing the basic construction of a hybrid dc-dc converter.

What you’ll learn:

• How to understand the various packaging options available with hybrid dc-dc converters
• How to get good thermal transfer when mounting hybrid dc-dc converters
