Hyper PFS heatsink
Posted by: cjf3

It appears that these Hyper_PFS parts are designed to only be used with a vetical pcb mounted heatsink. Is there any plan for a different package or lead form for attaching the part to a mounting plate that is parallel to the pcb? If a pcb mounted heatsink is used, can the PFS part be mounted to it without electrical isolation if the heatsink is floating and can't be touched or will this increase EMI?

hi
my circuit had good output and emi response.but when i detach heatsink from b- of my pfc900w my ic blowed do you see a relation between ic blowing and grounding heatsink?
best regards
Yes, depending on the specifics of your PCB layout and its parasitics.
I cannot tell you if there's a plan for a horizontal version, but we don't have it right now.
If you mount it on a heatsink without electrical isolation, yes the potential is there to make EMI worse, but there are several other factors involved - how big the surface area of the heatsink is, what it couples (capacitively) to, does it couple to the EMI filter components, does the PSU have a metallic enclosure, etc.
