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 ...

Using PIM for the manufacture of heat sinks instead of extrusion or machining broadens geometry options and creates a dense structure. Figure 1. A plot of thermal conductivity vs. thermal expansion ...

New zipper fin heat sinks from Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) are protecting thousands of components from the dangers of excess heat at a lower cost than other high fin density heat sink types ...

Cost-effective burn-in-with-test is essential to produce high reliability components. To ensure uniform burn-in of all components, a test solution must control the temperature, voltage, power, test ...

I’ve always been fascinated by heat sinks, ever since I began “messing around” with electronics. This involvement began with a simple, stamped-metal clip-on unit (see photo below) which solved my ...

Available in footprints from 2.0 x 2.0 in. to 5.0 x 5.0 in. and heights from 0.7 to 2.0 in., a line of aluminum heat sinks uses a novel flared pin-fin design that minimizes friction to improve natural ...

Researchers at the Manisa Celal Bayar University in Turkey have proposed using a skived-type aluminum heat sink (HS) to cool insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) arrays in solar PV inverters.
