Heatsinks

The goal of a heatsink is to dissipate heat accumulating during operation of a component or an entire device. Profiles are usually made of aluminum (natural or anodized), and are manufactured in the process of extruding, pressing, or casting. Heatsinks can be mounted on components of various kinds. Because of that, different versions of these products are available, with shapes and construction adjusted for i.a. relays, diodes, transistors, and even entire modules or particular models of cases. This optimizes the heat dissipation process due to obtaining maximum contact size, and significantly facilitates mounting.

Heatsinks in TME’s offer

TME catalogue features over 500 components of this kind. Using a wide selection of filters, you can choose a heatsink with required dimensions, base thickness, and applicability appropriate for your project. You can also comfortably select the shape (grilled, U-, Y, or H-shaped), as well as the type, material, and finish (anodized or natural). In numerous cases, information on thermal resistance is available as well. Using the search functionality, you can choose the mounting type. The offer includes e.g. screwed models, models for soldering, for SMT mounting, or for clip-on mounting. Products equipped with fans are worth mentioning. They are divided by the supply voltage (12V and 24VDC, or 230VAC). TME's offer includes heatsinks manufactured by numerous companies, such as: Fischer Elektronik, Stonecold, or Anly Electronics.
