Ducted Versus Bypass Flow Heat sink performance is impacted directly by how air flows through or around the fins of the heat sink. Ducting helps focus air flow through the fins, maximizing how much of the fluid is in direct contact with the fin surface area. This...
Skived Fin Heat Sinks: Singular Piece Solutions Many heat sink designs consist of separate fins and base and are assembled together using an adhesive process to bond the two together. These heat sink assemblies have an added thermal resistance in the form of the...
Extruded heat sinks are one of the most popular types of heat sinks. They’re easy to make in bulk, economical, and have fewer secondary operations before a final product than other heat sink technologies. That’s why the extrusion process is so widely used...
