Aluminum Heatsink for PCBs
Wanda-An manufactures various types of aluminum heat sinks, and this PCB heat sink is compact and has excellent heat dissipation. As a core heat dissipation component, the heat sink effectively manages the heat generated by electronic components through direct contact or indirect conduction, ensuring stable equipment operation.
1. The Core Role of Heatsinks in PCBs
Heats in PCBs act as "heat transporters," and their core functions include:
(1) Lowering component junction temperature: By increasing the heat dissipation area and optimizing the heat conduction path, heat sinks quickly dissipate heat from high-heat components (such as CPU, GPU, and power MOS), preventing performance degradation or damage due to overheating. For example, in CPU applications, the heat sink makes direct contact with the chip through a metal base, combined with thermal grease filling the gaps, significantly reducing junction temperature and improving computing efficiency.
(2) Extend Equipment Lifespan: High temperatures are a major factor in the aging of electronic components. Heat sinks extend equipment lifespan by stabilizing operating temperatures and reducing thermal stress damage to solder joints and components. For example, in LED lighting, heat sinks prevent LED chips from experiencing light decay due to high temperatures, ensuring long-term stable luminous efficacy.
(3) Improve System Reliability: In servers and industrial control equipment, heat sinks maintain stable PCB operation in high-temperature environments through forced air cooling or liquid cooling technology, preventing system crashes or data loss caused by overheating.
2. Typical Application Scenarios of Heat Sinks
Heat sinks are widely used in high-power or high-density PCB designs, primarily in the following scenarios:
(1) Computers and Consumer Electronics: In computers and laptops, heatsinks work in conjunction with fans to provide efficient cooling for CPUs and GPUs, ensuring devices maintain suitable temperatures under heavy loads. For example, within the compact space of a laptop, heatsinks balance heat dissipation with size constraints through optimized airflow design.
(2) Automotive Electronics: Car engines and electronic control units (ECUs) generate significant amounts of heat during operation. Heatsinks dissipate heat through coolant circulation or direct cooling, maintaining the stability of critical components in high-temperature environments and improving vehicle safety and performance.
(3) Industrial and Communication Equipment: In industrial control systems and communication base stations, heat sinks cope with high power and complex environments. Through customized design (such as aluminum or copper substrates), heat conduction is optimized to ensure reliable operation of equipment under harsh conditions.
3. Heatsink Design Optimization in PCB Design
Heater design requires comprehensive consideration of heat conduction, space layout, and cost-effectiveness. Key optimization strategies include:
(1) Material Selection: High thermal conductivity materials (such as aluminum or copper) are the core of the heat sink, and their thermal conductivity directly affects heat dissipation efficiency. For example, aluminum substrates are widely used in LEDs and power modules due to their lightweight and high thermal conductivity, significantly reducing thermal resistance.
(2) Structural Design: The shape and size of the heat sink must match the PCB layout. In compact designs, heat sinks increase the heat dissipation area through fins or microchannel structures, combined with thermal grease or phase change materials to improve heat transfer efficiency. For example, microchannel heat sinks achieve highly efficient heat dissipation through intricate structures in aerospace equipment.
(3) Integrated Design: Integrating the heat sink with the PCB requires optimizing the heat conduction path. In multilayer PCBs, the heat sink connects to the inner copper foil via thermal vias, conducting heat from the surface to the interior for diffusion, reducing thermal resistance. For example, the array of thermal vias beneath the LED driver chip significantly improves heat dissipation efficiency.

| Material | Type | Thermal Conductivities |
| Aluminum | Metal | 205-230(W/m-k) |
| Copper | Metal | 386-400(W/m-k) |
