The heatsink is suitable for lighting applications as, unlike heatsinks with straight fin designs, it performs well regardless of orientation. To accommodate square-type lighting fixture designs, the heatsink is square in shape.
Through a combination of cold forging and high performance materials, the heatsink’s 0.89°C/W thermal resistance is achieved. When compared to traditional die-casting or aluminium extrusion, cold forging produces heat sinks with improved thermal characteristics.
AL1050 aluminium is utilised by the heatsink and provides a thermal conductivity of 96.2-227W/mK, which is 2.36 times that of die casting. Cold forging has also enabled the heatsink to be produced in a one-piece design, with no assembly required.
