When we’re talking about how to keep things cool, especially in electronics, we rely on something called a heat sink. A heat sink is a device that aids in the removal of heat from important components of electronics, such as computers or phones, the way your freezer works with heat so your popsicles don’t get too hot and stop being popsicles. Over here at Remgar, we’re material obssesed when it comes to heat sink, and we’re here to introduce you to the top hot runners available on the market.
Heat sinks are often made of aluminum because it’s light and does a good job of dissipating heat. It’s not super pricey, either, so it’s a good one for lots of projects. At Remgar™, we only use top-of-the-line aluminum which will ensure your devices stay cool, work better and last longer. Aluminum does particularly well for things like computer parts and LED lights.
At Remgar we also make heat sinks in copper. It also does a great job of transferring heat — better than aluminum even! This lets it pull heat away super fast, ensuring all of your hot electronics stay safe. Copper heat sinks are ideal for high power applications that can produce a large amount of thermal energy. Copper is awesome because you can shape it so many ways to get it just how you want it!
Stainless steel is very strong and stuff won’t rust or oxidize, so it’s really good for heat sinks that have to last for a long time. At Remgar, we use only highest quality stainless steel to make certain that cold weather never cracks us. That makes it great for industrial machines or outdoor electronics that might take a lot of abuse.
Graphene is the OP and super new and cool material for heat sink applications. It’s incredible at conducting heat and is super thin and light. Remgar is looking at graphene as a potential way to make electronics cool down faster than ever. Picture your phone or computer never getting too hot, but gliding through apps and tasks without a hitch — all because of graphene!
Ceramics work well for heat sinks since they tend to handle heat very well and are good insulators. This allows them to shield hot spots on the sensitive parts of electronics. On that note, at Remgar we have a great selection of ceramic heat sinks, which are available at an affordable price and are reliable to keep all your day-to-day electronics in great working condition.
