To maximize heat transfer, intimate contact is essential between a sink and its assigned component. Insufficient contact can leave air gaps at the heat-sink-to-component interface that will reduce the ...

Mechanical loads frequently attach the heat sink to the printed circuit board (PCB) and establish the interface between the heat sink and the component. This document presents guidelines for the ...

How hot are your key components getting? There’s a good chance you’ve built a project and thought: “Well I guess I better slap a heat sink in there to be safe”. But when working on a more refined ...

As the heat density increases at the die level of more powerful semiconductor devices, there becomes a greater need for new and innovative cooling solutions. Standard Aluminum extrusions and bonded ...

A new line of low-profile, high-performance, heat sinks are designed for cooling hot components in low airflow velocity conditions. The blueICE heat sinks measure 4 mm to 7 mm in height, which allows ...

Electronic devices, including those in telecommunications and high-power systems, generate heat during normal operation. That heat must be dissipated to avoid junction temperatures exceeding tolerable ...
