Heatsink is a device that increases the surface area available for the transfer of heat from a component or device thereby increasing the amount of heat that can be dissipated.
The document explains the function of heatsinks and the key factors to consider when selecting one, such as geometry, thermal resistance and cost. It provides the basic thermal‑equilibrium equation and an example calculation for determining the maximum allowable thermal resistance.
It also details the material (Aluminium Alloy BS1474 6063 T6), dimensional tolerances, surface‑finish options, standard and custom hole patterns, installation notches, and available accessories like spring clips. Custom design services and additional product ranges (e.g., modem cases, panels) are described.
