One common practice, depending on what is on the other side of the PCB and how much heat you need to draw away from the part, is to manufacture a pseudo-heatsink into the board itself. It looks like a large tinned pad but has a dense array of vias f

Hi Brad, A couple of observations: 1. You are new to SMT. 2. Your requirements can be met by a variety of low end SMT equipment. Regarding point 1, you will be better off buying a machine from the manufacturer unless you hire someone with all around
