Material is super important when it comes to keeping things cool for a heat sink. A heat sink is a type of hero that rescues electronic devices from getting too hot. At Remgar, we know that material selection is a major factor to good heat sinks. There are various options, but two that are particularly popular — because they’re really good at dealing with heat — are metal called copper or aluminum.
Copper is wonderful for a heat sink, because it can absorb a huge amount of heat very quickly. That makes it ideal for devices that get really hot, really fast. Remgar copper heat sinks are designed to draw heat away from critical components on electronic devices to ensure device safety and cool operations. The downside is that copper is both heavier and generally more expensive, but man is it super good at its job—cooling things down quickly!
Aluminum also works very well for heat sinks. It’s not as good at conducting heat as copper, but it is lighter and cheaper. This is what makes aluminum heat sinks a good fit for many projects. At Remgar, we make it out of high-quality aluminum which will last a long time, so you’ll never have to replace it frequently. It’s a solid pick for chilling things out without breaking the bank.
One of the really neat things about aluminum is that it’s malleable in a way that allows it to be shaped into almost any shape. This process is called extrusion. We can make heat sinks in all shapes and sizes at Remgar. Whether you need something small and simple or large and intricate, aluminum extrusions can do the job. They are super versatile if you have a custom project going and just need that special something.
And sometimes, you need a little more to let you chill out even more. This is where copper fins come in: By adding fins to a heat sink, you increase the total amount of material that comes into contact with the air, which makes it easier to get rid of the heat. At Remgar we insist on copper fins in our designs to ensure they really are ultimate at cooling! This is a big deal for high-performing chips that generate a lot of heat.
Another great heat management tool is heat pipes. They rely on a special liquid that soaks up heat and takes it away from critical parts of a gadget. “In Remgar, we frequently add copper or aluminum heat sinks combined with heat pipes to make them more efficient. This combo is not only effective, but also affordable, meaning that you’re getting the most for the least when it comes to cooling technology.
