Note
1. We recommend a maximum torque of 0.4 Nm for carrier board and module mounting screws.
2. The gap pad material used on congatec heatspreaders may contain silicon oil that can seep out over time depending on the environmental
conditions it is subjected to. For more information about this subject, contact your local congatec sales representative and request the gap
pad material manufacturer's specification.
Caution
1. The congatec heatspreaders/cooling solutions are tested only within the commercial temperature range of 0° to 60°C. Therefore, if your
application that features a congatec heatspreader/cooling solution operates outside this temperature range, ensure the correct operating
temperature of the module is maintained at all times. This may require additional cooling components for your final application's thermal
solution.
2. For adequate heat dissipation, use the mounting holes on the cooling solution to attach it to the module. Apply thread-locking fluid on
the screws if the cooling solution is used in a high shock and/or vibration environment. To prevent the standoff from stripping or cross-
threading, use non-threaded carrier board standoffs to mount threaded cooling solutions.
3. For applications that require vertically-mounted cooling solution, use only coolers that secure the thermal stacks with fixing post. Without
the fixing post feature, the thermal stacks may move.
4. Do not exceed the recommended maximum torque. Doing so may damage the module or the carrier board, or both.
