ATC Q-BRIDGE THERMAL CONDUCTOR ATC Q-Bridge Thermal Conductor ATC's new Q-Bridge Thermal Conductor is manufactured with the highest quality materials for reliable and repeatable performance providing a cost effective thermal management solution. These devices are constructed with Aluminum Nitride (AlN) or Beryllium Oxide (BeO) and are available in standard EIA form factors. Q-Bridge provides the designer with the ability to manage thermal conditions by directing heat to a thermal ground plane, heat sink or any other specific thermal point of interest. The inherently low capacitance makes this device virtually transparent at RF / microwave frequencies. This device has the added benefit of offering additional layers of protection to adjacent components from hot spot thermal loads. Q-Bridge provides the benefit of increased overall circuit reliability. ATC's Q-Bridge is manufactured using one-piece construction, providing a RoHS compliant SMT package that is fully compatible with high speed automated pick-and-place processing. It is available in 0402, 0603 and 0805 EIA case sizes. Custom configurations are also available. Applications: * GaN Power Amplifiers * High RF Power Amplifiers * Filters * Synthesizers * Industrial Computers * Switch Mode Power Supplies * Pin & Laser Diodes Features: Functional Applications: * High Thermal Conductivity * Between active device and adjacent ground planes * Low Thermal Resistance * Specific contact pad to case * Low Capacitance * Contact pad to contact pad * Increases Circuit Reliability * Direct component contact to via pad or trace * RoHS Compliant * Edges fully metalized * More efficient thermal management Termination Materials ATC Termination Code Non-Magnetic Termination Materials TN Tin over Non-Magnetic Barrier Termination CA Gold over Non-Magnetic Barrier Termination WN Tin/Lead, Solder over Non-Magnetic Nickel Barrier Termination ATC # 001-1143 Rev B, 3/15 ATC Q-BRIDGE THERMAL CONDUCTOR Dimensions Size (EIA) Mechanical Configurations Length (L) 0402 0.040 .002 (1.02 0.051) 0.020 .002 (0.51 0.051) 20 15 0.010 .002 (0.25 0.051) 0603 0.060 .002 (1.52 0.051) 0.030 .002 (0.76 0.051) 25 20 0.015 .002 (0.38 0.051) 0805 0.080 .002 (2.03 0.051) 0.050 .002 (1.27 0.051) 40 25 0.020 .002 (0.51 0.051) t Standard Thickness (T, mils) Termination (t) A B Width (W) W L T inches (mm) Specifications AlN Case Size 0402 0603 0805 BeO Case Size Thermal Resistance (C/W) Thickness A 25 20 10 Thickness B 32 25 16 Thermal Resistance (C/W) Thickness A 16 13 7 Thickness B 21 16 11 Thermal Conductivity (mW/C)* Thickness A 40 50 100 Capacitance Value (pF) Thickness B 30 40 60 Thickness A .06 .08 .13 Thermal Conductivity (mW/C) Thickness A 61 76 153 Thickness B .05 .06 .08 Capacitance Value (pF) Thickness B 46 61 92 Thickness A .05 .06 .10 Thickness B 0402 .04 0603 .05 0805 .07 * Note: Thermal conductivity is normalized to chip size.
