Bonded Fin Heat Sinks
Bonded fin heat sinks are normally used in forced-air-circulation environments, as there is no limitation on the fin height:space ratio. SNS Cooling offers bonded fin products with ratios as high as 40:1, as well as bonded fins with enhanced performance fin profiles, with an increase in overall performance by 10-20% (depending on fin height and air velocity).
SNS uses following methods to bond the fin and base:
Low temperature soldering material
RoHS compliantAluminum-filled, thermally conductive epoxy
RoHS compliant, to a max. working temperature of either 275 or 400 °FSNS Cooling offers various combinations of base and fin materials as outlined below:
Base Material
Al Alloy 6061-T651, orAl Alloy 6063-T5
Fin Material
