RoHS Compliant For High Power Cooling Celebrating 50 Years of Innovation 1964-2014 COPPER SKIVED FIN HEAT SINKS Aavid's high performance copper skived fin heat sinks feature Aavid’s new locking shurlock push pins. They offer improved reliability for higher mass solutions compared to traditional metal or plastic pins. Copper has the highest thermal conductivity of all of the commercial metals (nearly twice of aluminum) which can significantly improve spreading heat from small components for the best possible performance within your allowable space constraints. These are manufactured by accurately peeling fins from a bar of solid copper to form a near finished part. The fins are an integral part of the base plate with no solder or other interface joint. This allows for optimal thermal performance within the parameters of the application. SHURLOCK PUSH PIN FEATURES • Brass material allows for easy insertion and locking in one or two steps • No interface joint between fins & base • Easy removal from top and bottom of PCB through unlocking feature • Lower tooling cost for custom designs • Secure for over-sized aluminum & heavy copper heat sinks • Improved thermal performance • Metal body increases resilience to high temperature pull out • Various attachment methods • Spring loaded pins support larger spring loads • Both custom & standard solutions • A strong barb end will not wear like plastic pins STANDARD AND CUSTOM OPTIONS Forced Convection Tape & phase change: Laird-T-PCM-585 Finish: Aavsheild3C Natural Convection Add one of our active fans for more cooling. Part Number Standard copper skived heat sinks are available in a variety of sizes. Other sizes are available with additional machining and attachment methods.
