Product Description

Vehicle electronics face intense heat, vibration, and weather exposure that can lead to failures or costly redesigns. Our heat sinks are built to handle these demands, using strong materials and efficient cooling to keep your systems running smoothly without adding unnecessary weight or complexity. 

Fin Design

Extruded or pin fins; fin pitch: 2 mm to 5 mm for optimal heat dissipation and airflow

Mounting Type

Bolt-on or clip-on; compatible with automotive brackets and vibration-resistant designs

Cooling Method

Passive (air-cooled) or active (fan-assisted where applicable), suited for vehicle airflow

Operating Temperature Range

-40°C to 125°C, with maximum allowable base temperature rise of 50°C above ambient

Airflow Compatibility

Supports 10 CFM to 100 CFM, designed for natural or forced airflow in engine compartments

Surface Finish

Anodized or powder-coated for corrosion resistance and thermal emissivity

Noise Contribution

Silent (passive) or <35 dB (active cooling), minimizing impact in vehicle cabins

Durability

Rated for 40,000+ hours of operation under automotive thermal and vibration conditions

Environmental Resistance

Resistant to dust (IP65), moisture (up to 95% RH), and vibration per IEC 60068-2-6

Standards Compliance

Meets AEC-Q100, ISO 16750, and RoHS standards for automotive electronics

Thermal Interface Compatibility

Pre-applied thermal pads or compatibility with automotive-grade TIMs (e.g., silicone-based)

Technical Advantages

Our heat sinks use aluminum or copper with protective coatings, built to resist corrosion and wear in automotive settings. They operate across a wide temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), keeping components safe even during extreme heat or cold, which cuts down on field failures and warranty claims. 

With a heat dissipation range of 50 W to 500 W, these sinks deliver strong cooling without adding bulk, weights stay between 0.3 kg and 3 kg. This balance helps your designs meet performance targets while staying within vehicle weight limits.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

What temperature extremes can these heat sinks handle in vehicles?

Our Automotive Heat Sinks operate from -40°C to 125°C, with a maximum base temperature rise of 50°C above ambient. This range ensures they work in cold starts, hot engine bays, or desert conditions without losing effectiveness. 

How do these heat sinks hold up under road vibrations?

They are built to withstand vibration per IEC 60068-2-6 standards, with bolt-on or clip-on mounting that stays secure. This durability reduces the risk of loose components or failures during vehicle operation. 

Can we use these heat sinks for both electric and traditional vehicles?

Yes, they support heat dissipation from 50 W to 500 W, covering electronics in electric vehicle inverters and battery systems, as well as traditional engine control units and headlights. You can choose aluminum or copper based on your needs. 

What testing ensures these heat sinks meet automotive standards?

They are tested to AEC-Q100 for electronics reliability and ISO 16750 for environmental conditions, covering heat, vibration, and moisture. This meets industry requirements for automotive parts. 

How does the weight impact our vehicle design goals?

Weights range from 0.3 kg to 3 kg, depending on size and material. Aluminum keeps them light for fuel efficiency, while copper options add cooling power where needed, letting you balance weight and performance.
