Unique stress-free labor-saving locking-tab design ensures reliable device-to-heat-sink surface contact for TO-220 components. The 235 Series
maximizes surface area providing more effective cooling of components mounted either horizontally or vertically. Components insert quickly and
easily without the use of installation tools by depressing heat sink sides, reducing process time and assembly costs. A mounting hole is available
for hardware mounting when desired. Models are available with or without solderable tab options. Specify solderable tab options by the addition
of suffix 01, 05, or 10 to the standard part number (i.e. 235-85AB-01). Material: Aluminum, black anodized.

Snap-down heat sinks for TO-220 devices mounted either vertically or horizontally. Integral self-locking-fin features eliminate the need for installation
tools or other hardware typically required for installation or removal of components. A hole is available for hardware mounting when desired. Unique
fin design aligns the component and securely retains it when “Snapped” into the heat sink for reliable component operation. Specify solderable tab
options by the addition of suffix 03 or 04 to the standard part number (i.e. 239-75AB-03). Material: Aluminum, black anodized.

Lightweight, slim-profile heat sinks with integral self-locking clips occupy minimum board real estate and reduce assembly costs. Their small
footprint is ideal for a variety of low-power multiwatt component applications. Models are available in heights of .620 in. (15.7) and .845 in.
(21.5). Specify solderable tab option for the 251-80AB (only) by the addition of suffix 19 to the standard part number (i.e. 251-80AB-19).
