Abstract
Abstract Cooling and screening device for integrated circuits, have a metal plate (26) having integrally formed cooling projections (28) and having bores (34) extending from the upper side and bottom side of the metal plate (26). Inserted into these bores (34) are contact pins (39) whose free ends form soldering tips (38) which are intended for soldering into plated-through bores (40) of a printed circuit board (20).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
179 words
A cooling and screening device for an integrated circuit, comprising: a planar heat sink made from metal and having a flat bottom side that contacts the integrated circuit and an upper side which is fitted with cooling projections and covered along and near side edges of the upper side by cut-outs extending from the bottom side to the upper side; contact pins having first and second ends being inserted into the cut-outs of the heat sink to form an electrical connection, the contact pins projecting perpendicularly from the bottom side of said heat sink each first end of the contact pins being constructed as a press-fit pin which is widened in the shape of an eye and, at least in a region of the eye-shaped widening, has sharp edges; in a region of the edges a gastight electrical connection being between the heat sink and the press-fit pins inserted into the cut-outs said second ends of the contact pins being constructed as soldering tips for insertion into plated-through bores of an electric printed circuit board carrying the integrated circuit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
179 words
A cooling and screening device for an integrated circuit, comprising: a planar heat sink made from metal and having a flat bottom side that contacts the integrated circuit and an upper side which is fitted with cooling projections and covered along and near side edges of the upper side by cut-outs extending from the bottom side to the upper side; contact pins having first and second ends being inserted into the cut-outs of the heat sink to form an electrical connection, the contact pins projecting perpendicularly from the bottom side of said heat sink each first end of the contact pins being constructed as a press-fit pin which is widened in the shape of an eye and, at least in a region of the eye-shaped widening, has sharp edges; in a region of the edges a gastight electrical connection being between the heat sink and the press-fit pins inserted into the cut-outs said second ends of the contact pins being constructed as soldering tips for insertion into plated-through bores of an electric printed circuit board carrying the integrated circuit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cooling projections are columns which project perpendicularly from the upper side and have a cross section, whose extent is approximately the same in the two dimensions of a plane of the upper side of the heat sink.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the heat sink is formed in one piece from impact-extruded aluminum.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the contact pins consist of spring-tempered tin bronze.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein a plurality of contact pins are connected to one another in their middle region by a sheet-metal strip, the contact pins and the sheet-metal strip being one piece.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
56 words
The device as claimed in claim 5, wherein the first ends of the contact pins, which are near the heat sink, are elastically deformable in the shape of an S and are bent back so far in a direction of the heat sink that the S bend remote from the eye-shaped widening touches the heat sink.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
42 words
The device as claimed in claim 6, wherein a spacer is located between the heat sink and the S bends, the spacer being removable after insertion of soldering tips of the contact pins into the plated-through bores of the printed circuit board.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
15 words
The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the integrated circuit is a VLSI chip.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
16 words
The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the cooling projections have a round cross section.
