Extruded Heat Sink Design Guide: Fin Height, Fin Pitch and Base Thickness
Extruded heat sink design depends mainly on fin height, fin pitch, base thickness, airflow condition, material, heat load and extrusion feasibility. A good design should provide enough heat transfer surface area while keeping airflow resistance, weight, tooling complexity and manufacturing cost under control. For aluminum extrusion heat sinks, the geometry is formed through a die, […]
