Pin-fin heat sinks come in a wide variety of footprints, pin densities, thicknesses, and heights. They can dissipate up to 185 W in a volume less than 6.3 in. 3 with the help of a small fan.

Pin fin heat sinks are generally manufactured via a forging process that allows the use of highly conductive aluminum and copper alloys, which further improves heat sink performance. The devices are ...

Pin fin heat sinks for surface mount (SM) devices are available in a variety of configurations, sizes and materials. The following step-by-step breakdown will aid in selecting the most suitable ...

Forged from aluminum or copper, they range in size from 0.27 by 0.27 in. to 2 by 2 in. and in heights from 0.3 to 1.1 in. Splayed pin fins are derivatives of traditional pin-fin heatsinks that ...

According to a recent report published by Report Ocean, titled, “Pin Fin Heat Sink For IGBT Market by Material type: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2019-2025,” the global pin fin ...

SAN FRANCISCO—Thermal management solutions vendor Cool Innovations Inc. is offering a new line of integrated fansinks composed of a pin-fin heat sink and a fan that is embedded into the heat sink's ...

The flared-pin configuration offers a performance premium as great as 28% over traditional pin-fin heat sinks. For example, a flared-pin heat sink with a 1-in. 2 footprint has a thermal resistance of ...
