Electronic systems with heights of less than 30 mm, especially industrial computers with particularly small housings (small form factor systems), place high demands on the specific power density of a heat sink. Typical and optimal cooling solutions for this application are the so-called skived fin heat sinks which our can produce. The cooling fins are scraped out of an aluminium or copper block. This special manufacturing technique allows particularly fine ribs and a high rib density. In addition, with this manufacturing method, the individual lamellas are seamlessly connected to the heat sink base - without the thermal resistance that inevitably occurs with soldered, glued or pressed connections. And since the tool costs are comparatively low, this process is also suitable for series with small quantities. Due to their high cooling effect, Skived-Fin heat sinks are usually used as CPU coolers in server systems, especially in the form of an active cooling solution in combination with system fans that ensure a forced air flow.
