Contract Manufacturing
Where to buy heatsinks Research heatsink manufacturers online and call several companies for technical support. Once you know which heatsink you require you can gather quotes. Research the company that you’re thinking of buying the heatsink from, check that it is a reputable company, with good reviews, an extensive product range and a reliable sales and customer service team. Make sure technical support is available to you every step of the way should you require it, including after sales support.
Compatibility
Today, there is a wide range of heatsinks in the industry to choose from. The heatsink must be compatible with your application, so check the compatibility to make sure
it will fit with your particular applications footprint. Ensure you discuss your requirements with a heatsink expert and are confident with the heatsink’s compatibility to enable you to choose the right one.
What’s the difference between an active and passive heatsink? A passive heatsink relies completely on natural convection which means the hot air alone causes airflow generated across the heatsink system. Passive heatsinks are beneficial because they do not require secondary power or control systems to remove the heat from the system and often prove a more cost-effective solution.
An active heatsink utilises forced air or liquid flow across its area. Forced air heatsinks are often generated by a fan.
Fans force the air across the heatsink, allowing the cool air to move across the heatsink surface. Fans help increase the thermal gradient across the heatsink system which allows more heat to exit the overall unit.
Heatsink applications
Heatsinks are used in everyday systems and are used alongside high-power semiconductor devices and integrated circuits such as power transistors, IC cooling, AC/DC converters and LED lighting and laser diodes.
