heatsink

For environmental and safety reasons, the electronics industry has been seeking to greatly reduce, and eventually eliminated lead (Pb) in components, electrical and electronic equipment. The RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances)…

When it comes to electronic systems, heat-sinks act as heat exchangers that help to cool a device by transferring heat on to the medium surrounding it. They are used in computers to cool the CPU (Central Processing Unit). This…

An advantage of the new CPU heat sinks is an improved air convection of up to 5%, because of non-simultaneous heating from one cooling fin to the other. The result is a better heat exchange between the various “hot and cold” air layers.…

Heat sinks and electronic cooling are the most common methods for thermal management in electronic systems. Thermal management is needed to ensure that a product will operate within the specified thermal ratings for the various…
