Degree Controls Inc. (Milford, NH) announced the release of the customized Tortoise Back heatsink solution for dc/dc converters used in communications applications.

"Given the extreme nature of thermal management issues that the communications industry faces, new designs that resolve specific thermal problems are in strong demand," said Sam Hopp, vice president of sales and marketing. "Developed by thermal scientist Dr. Izuh Obinelo and company President Rajesh Nair, the Tortoise Back heatsink technology uses a custom-arched radial base along with custom fin configurations and footprints to meet individual performance specifications."

The patent-pending Tortoise Back heatsink solution will be on display at Supercomm 2001 in Atlanta, GA, from June 3-7, 2001.
