That's 1.11 watts @15A, not a big deal for a copper PCB to sink - especially with the boatload of vias they use around it.

Finally found them looking closer at the pictures and they are cute little surface mount parts with a lot of copper PCB and holes around them, but no external heat sink.

Have mosfets really gotten efficient enough to switch that much current with that little heatsink? Impressive if true.
