Abstract
A heat sinking apparatus that dissipates heat generated by a surface mountable power device, which can be auto picked and placed, comprises a first planar surface, at least one gull wing mounting tab, and at least one connective leg. The at least one connective leg thermally couples the first planar surface to the gull wing tab and all three structures are comprised of a thermally conductive material. When the heat sinking apparatus is coupled to a substrate, heat generated by the surface mountable power device is thermally transferred through a thermal plane of the substrate to the heat sinking apparatus.
