In addition, the thermal couple tip must be covered in
either thermal grease or thermal glue to make sure that
the thermal couple junction is making good contact with
the case of the IC. Omega brand thermal couple (5SC-
TT-K-36-36) is adequate for most applications.
Wherever
possible,
an
infrared
thermometer
is
recommended. The measurement spot size of most
infrared thermometers is too large for an accurate
reading on a small form factor ICs. However, a IR
thermometer from Optris has a 1mm spot size, which
®
makes it a good choice for the 2mm x 2mm MLF
or
®
Thin MLF
package. An optional stand makes it easy to
hold the beam on the IC for long periods of time.
