A heatsink (10) for a semiconductor device (30), such as an integrated circuit, and particularly a device of the so-called single-in-line type, has a recess (14) in its lower edge to receive the generally rectangular casing (33) of the device (30) and an area (24) extending from the base of the recess for heat-conductive engagement with a metal tab (34) extending from one long side of the device. A lug (40) projects from a side edge of the recess to enter a notch (38) at one end of the casing that is provided as an index for identifying the pin numbering of the device. The lug (40) obstructs an attempt to mount the device in reverse orientation in the recess. |
