    Re: Thermal Pads and Bad IPM's: What if it's NOT Heat?

    By the way do you recommend wicking the heat away from the heatsink or blowing the air onto it ?

        Mounting and Handling Guidelines for TO220 TO220F TO247 Cases / Packages

        The TO220, TO220F and TO247 are the popular packages for power devices because of their versatility and ability to dissipate moderate amounts of heat. This application note describes the basic guidelines for handling power MOSFETs in TO220, TO220 and TO247 packages shown in Figure 1. Please note that only mechanical and soldering guidelines are covered here. Additional precautions are required for isolating high voltage rated devices to meet safety regulations.

        thickness of thermal pads for Alienware M15 R1
        by sancho76
        Hi, somebody knows the thickness of thermal pads for M15 R1? Or if someone have this Alienware model, can take measure for original thermal pads.

        detecting heat with IR LED receiver

        detecting heat with IR LED receiver

        I have some dark IR led, and want to know if it is be situable to detect pure heat (not visable glow ir radiation) in well lighted desk?

        So, if I put hand over it in near distance like few centimeters, that detect rising heat, not covering it from light.
        Something like termal camera, but in one spot, any simple circuit?...

        Restore solder pads for SMC on MacBook A1466
        by dbuergi
        Hi all,

        i got a A1466 logic board for spare parts but it looks like the SMC ist bad. I got several spares but somehow i was too fast while removing it and ripped some pads off. You can see the damage attached.
        Just for experience i would like to restore the lost pads but before i start (haven't done this before) do you have some hints or tutorials how to do it?
        As written i want to improve skills so it doesnt matter if it takes longer.

        Moto G84 short after heat
        by ludovik
        Hello everyone,
        i was reballing the power manger of a moto g84, after applying heat i tried to power on and it wouldn’t.
        i injected 1.5v to some capacitor that seem in short because both side beep if tested.
        when i inject i feel the cpu burning;
        since the cpu is exactly on the other side of the board, is that possible that the heat from the reballing damaged the cpu? do you know where i can find schematics or what can i do?
        i know this is not enough to explain the situation so if you need any other info ask me please!
        Thank you very much in advance
