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 small form factor ICs. However, an IR
thermometer from Optris has a 1 mm spot size, which
makes it a good choice for measuring the hottest point
on the case. An optional stand makes it easy to hold the
beam on the IC for long periods of time.
