High density fins heat sink stacked fin heat sink combination heatsink design makes it possible to fabricate large sized densely packed fabfin structures for high power heat sink requirements. Unlimited possibilities as to length, width, height, fin thickness and fin spacing. Swaged process allows a multitude of aluminum fins to be mechanically attached to dual aluminum baseplates at the same time without using any adhesive.
The concept of increasing fin efficiency by sharing fins between two baseplates originated in the one piece hollow extrusion. The standard available line of shapes extends almost every 0.25" in height from 1.00" to 8.00" high at fin spacing of about 0.10", and high aspect ratios could reach 50:1.
Therefore, high density stacked bonded extrusion heatsink will be a smart choice.
A Copper Folded Fin Heat Sink leverages copper's superior thermal conductivity (≈401 W/m*K vs aluminum's 205 W/m*K) and the folded-fin process's high surface-area density, while being fully customizable into diverse shapes for constrained high-heat applications.
- Material Specifications: Typically pure copper (C11000/C10200, oxygen-free copper for ultra-high conductivity); fin thickness 0.1-0.4 mm, folded into corrugated/zig-zag arrays, then bonded to a copper base via brazing (vacuum/atmospheric), solder reflow, or high-performance thermal epoxy. Base thickness can be independently optimized (3-20 mm common).
- Fin & Shape Customization: Fins can be flat-crest, rounded-crest, wavy, lanced-offset, or herringbone; bases can be CNC-machined into complex geometries (holes, cutouts, curves, steps) post-bonding.
- Surface Treatments: Nickel plating (corrosion resistance, solderability), black oxide, passivation; avoid anodizing (copper anodization is unstable vs aluminum).
- Higher Thermal Conductivity & Heat Spreading: Faster heat transfer from source to fin tips, critical for high-heat-flux (≥100 W/cm²) scenarios.
- Better Performance at Low Airflow: More effective passive cooling, though forced air still drastically improves efficiency.
- Durability & Corrosion Resistance (with plating): Suitable for harsh environments (automotive underhood, industrial controls).
- Drawback: ~3x heavier than aluminum, higher material and processing costs.
- Thermal Load & Airflow: Calculate required thermal resistance (Rθja, Rθjc) and match to CFM/LFM; dense folded fins need ≥100 CFM forced air to avoid airflow stagnation.
- Fin Pitch & Height: For forced air, 1.0-2.0 mm pitch balances surface area and pressure drop; taller fins (up to 60 mm) improve convection but add weight.
- Bonding Quality: Vacuum brazing > solder > epoxy for thermal contact; poor bonds create hotspots—verify with thermal imaging or Rθ measurement.
- Weight Budget: Copper's density (8.96 g/cm³) requires careful mass control in aerospace/portable devices; consider copper-fin+aluminum-base hybrid designs.
Predominantly in high-power electronics: automotive EV inverters, server CPUs/GPUs, 5G base station power amplifiers, industrial IGBT modules, laser diodes, and medical equipment where reliability and thermal performance take priority over cost/weight.
- MOQ is often 100-500 units for custom shapes; tooling costs rise with complexity (curved/annular > rectangular).
- Lead time: 4-8 weeks for design, prototyping, and production runs.
- Cost drivers: material price, fin density, bonding method, plating, and custom machining steps.
