Heat Sink Application with I-ScanHigh density, active, electronics emit energy that can raise their temperature leading to failures. Heat sinks are secured to components to dissipate their heat. For the heat sink to function properly, even contact must be achieved between the part being cooled and the heat source. This can be difficult to achieve due to the mechanically 搒tiff?nature of the heat sink and hard surfaces involved; where contact may be achieved well at one or two points, but larger regions of potential contact have gaps.The I-Scan抯 patented, paper-thin sensors can easily be inserted between these two mating surfaces to evaluate and improve the contact. With the help of Tekscan抯 highly qualified sales and engineering support team, each system may be configured to meet your specific needs. |
Above: 2D pressure display of a heat sink. Higher pressures are evident along the right corner, indicating that the contact area between the heat sink and heat source is not uniform. |
