All the resources you need to design the optimal heat sink in one place. Have design questions? Our team is here to help.
Designing an effective thermal solution requires more than choosing a standard component. It requires understanding heat transfer fundamentals, airflow behavior, material performance, and how real-world operating conditions impact long-term reliability. This Heat Sink Design Library was created to give engineers, product designers, and technical teams a centralized resource for building smarter, more efficient thermal solutions from concept through production.
Learn the basics of heat transfer and thermal resistance, along with the impact of design materials and types of heat sinks, in this guide.
Learn about the types of heat pipes, their tolerances, and how to calculate performance in this comprehensive guide.
Learn more about vapor chamber shapes and dimensions along with the pros and cons of different types of vapor chambers.
Estimates required heat sink volume & dimensions based on power input, Tcase, ambient temperature and available airflow.
Compare heat sinks using a solid metal base to those using a vapor chamber base: heat sink thermal resistance & delta-T for each part.
Calculates heat pipe carrying capacity and thermal conductivity based on input, length, diameter, orientation, & condenser/evaporator sizes.
Our team of engineers can perform a feasibility analysis and make design recommendations at no cost. Reach out to speak with a thermal engineer about your design.
