Lab Series Thermal Straps

Lab Series are the most economical foil-type thermal straps available. Terminal geometry options are limited in the Lab Series because they are made using pre-fabricated components. They are made from the same top quality materials used in our other thermal straps. Just choose a shape and provide dimensions. Lab Series straps come with block terminals. Screw holes can be requested in any pattern.

* The heat path length is measured in milimeters -- mid-terminal to mid-terminal. If the heat path measures 100 mm, then x=100.

How to Order:

First review the thermal strap shape drawings shown below. If the thermal link desired is similar to one of those shown, then:

1. Select the model required using the table above to select the foil width.
   Example: LAB-725
2. Click on and review the L, S, and U-shape drawings (PDF). Select the desired strap shape by adding the letter to the part number.
   Example: LAB-725-S
3. Add the thickness, terminal types, and characteristic dimensions (A, B, C) highlighted in the drawing to the finished part number.
   Example: LAB-725-S-200-BT-BH-1.250-2.450
4. Contact us with your desired part numbers. If applicable, also include a simple sketch with hole sizes and placement. Our technical staff will contact you promptly with a quote, and lead time.
   The part number will follow this format:
   

For modified versions of the Lab Series designs you can either send us a dimensioned hand sketch or modify one of the shape drawings (PDF). Just send us a picture or scan with the modifications or your unique shape. Simple variations will be priced as standard Lab Series thermal links.
