• Thermal Requirements

When considering this factor, you must ask yourself how much heat can the heat sink you want dissipate? Answering this correctly means you’ve already established the amount of energy your device needs the heat sink to take care of. Once you’ve determined this, you’d be having the correct information to choose the right extruded aluminum heat sink.

  • Active or Passive Heat Sinks?

Active heat sinks utilize fluid to dissipate heat. On the other hand, passive heat sinks manipulate air flow to accomplish the same, only minus fluids. Therefore, each of these heat sinks have different applications.

This means you must understand the environment under which you want your heat sink to operate. That way, you can match the heat sink specifications with the environmental requirements needed for your device.

  • Thermal Resistance Formula

A heat sink must efficiently conduct heat and effectively dissipate it. To accomplish this, we follow the thermal resistance formula to the latter. The formula ensures we produce the right extruded aluminum heat sink for your products.

  • Thermal Interface Material

The material joining the heat sink and the device in need of heat dissipation plays an important role in achieving efficiency. The gap filler also known as thermal grease must be of the correct gradient for efficient heat transfer. Conversely, the device must be compatible to the gap filler. On our end, we design and produce extruded aluminum heat sinks that are easily compatible with gap fillers.
