Copper heat sink

skived fin

Aavid’s high performance copper skived fin heat sinks feature Aavids new locking Shurlock pins which offer improved reliability for higher mass solutions compared to traditional metal or plastic pins. Copper has the highest thermal conductivity of all of the commercial metals (nearly twice of aluminum) which can significantly improve spreading heat from small components for the best possible performance within your allowable space constraints. These are manufactured by accurately peeling fins from a bar of solid copper to form a near finished part. The fins are an integral part of the base plate with no solder or other interface joint. This allows for optimal thermal performance within the parameters of the application.
