Aluminum profile heat sinks – also known as die-cast or extruded heat sinks, depending on the manufacturing process – are the classic method for cooling of power electronics. Their fins provide a large cooling surface for effective heat dissipation by means of natural convection. Profile heat sinks therefore ensure the stable operation of electronic components and a long service life.
Applications range from cooling of semiconductors in small mobile end devices to cooling of high-power IGBTs in railway technology. There are different methods for mounting them on the electronic component to be cooled: Small profile heat sinks are mounted using clips or soldering pins. Large die-cast heat sinks generally have integrated threads for screwing them in.
Very large selection of die-cast heat sinks
Our portfolio of typical standard profiles – including fin, comb and finger heat sinks, as well as mini heat sinks – is exceptionally large. Our experts will be glad to help you in choosing the right profile heat sink!
And if there is no standard heat sink for your requirements, we – as a specialist for project- and application-specific cooling solutions – will jointly develop the optimal profile heat sink for your application.
Benefit from more than 25 years of experience in the development and marketing of heat sinks.
