Thanks Derek, the method you describes works great for parts where you 
have access to the heat tabs, unfortunately the parts I am describing 
have a heat slug under the part and are designed to be soldered to the 
PCB. Once the parts are soldered down, there is no access to the heat 
tab, thermal dissapation is only thru the PCB.
