Screw tightening to heat sink
The tightening of the screws is the main process of attaching the module to the heat sink. It is recommended
that M3 screws are used in conjunction with a spring washer and a plain washer. The spring washer must be
assembled between the plain washer and the screw head. The screw torque must be monitored by the fixing
tool.
Tightening process:
•
Align module with the fixing holes
•
Insert screw A with washers and do pre-screwing
•
Insert screw B with washers and do pre-screwing
o
Note: The pre-screwing torque is set to 20~30 % of maximum torque rating.
•
Tighten screw A to final torque
•
Tighten screw B to final torque
