- Drill the nine holes (diameter
3.5 mm) to Aluminum adapter
150
mm × 75 mm × 5 mm; for correct dimensions use the Altium Designer®
file.
- Drill another
nine holes (diameter 2.5 mm) to heat sink and cut threads
M3
- Add nine
holes (diameter 3 mm) to the thermal foil using a punch
pliers; so far this is the best choice.
- Attention: Less adhesive side of thermal foil
(RS) shows towards adapter, strong adhesive side (3M) shows
towards the PCB.
- Remove
protection foil on less adhesive side only,
keep protection foil on the
other side. Now place the foil at the aluminum adapter.
- Place just
the nine screws plus washers at the PCB and place the top
down on the PCB, two pieces of tape keep the screws in
place, so there are nine bolts on the other side,
this helps for the next step.
- Remove
protection foil at the strong adhesive side of the thermal
foil, remove white protection foil at the adapter and place
the adapter precisely on PCB.
- Flip by
keeping the adapter in place and set the adapter and PCB on
top of heat sink, remove tapes and fix the screws. This
completes the process
