CUI Inc is adding a 600 W device to the company’s line of rugged chassis mount DC-DC converters. The VFK600 series measures 7.8 x 5.0 x 1.5 inch and includes an integrated heat sink for improved thermal performance. The aluminum heat sink allows the unit to operate at higher temperatures with a minimal amount of air flow. The VFK600 is offered in five different regulated output … [Read more...]
Heat Sinks Designed for Higher Power Densities
The new R2 Series of heat sinks from Ohmite combines thermal performance with the attachment mechanism of the popular C Series. This heat sink is capable of attaching either a TO-220 or a TO-247 component and is offered in both degreased and black anodized finishes. The convenient camming clip eliminates the need for mounting holes and screws. By eliminating the need for a … [Read more...]
Thermal Facts and Fairy Tales: Heat Sinks, Heat Exchangers and History
As far as history goes, the field of electronics cooling does not have a very long past. A rather quick look through my personal reference material that is strictly geared towards cooling electronics had at the earliest some US Navy documents from the 1950s [1]. Comparing the solution techniques available today to those available then shows that we have both much better tools … [Read more...]

Bristly Particles Could Manage Heat Flow in Electronics
A well-known method of making heat sinks for electronic devices is a process called sintering, in which powdered metal is formed into a desired shape and then heated in a vacuum to bind the particles together. In a recent experiment, students at MIT led by Kripa Varanasi, d’Arbeloff Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, tried sintering copper particles in air and … [Read more...]
