Skived Fin Heatsinks Introduction
Skived Fin heat sinks can be an alternative to extruded heat sinks when looking for a fin density which can’t be achieved by extrusion technology and can be manufactured from either copper or aluminum and usually have 0.5 (0.020”) thick fins. Skived fins are achieved by a knife tool that literally shaves fins up from an extruded aluminum or copper base. This process of slicing and then standing the fins up one at a time can create an extremely high fin-to-gap aspect ratio. The top of the fins are then cut to maintain a uniform height. This increased surface area drastically improves the thermal performance in forced airflow environments.
Pioneer Thermal have 15 years experience in skived fin heat sink manufacturing, we produce both aluminum skived fin heat sink and copper skived fin heat sink based on customer's requirement. Don't worry about the MOQ, we can support small order as well as big order.
