4597 Aavid

component 1. Heat sinks: Heat sinks are thermal management components designed to allow heat generated by electronic components to be dissipated away from the component. Aavid’s heat sinks are made from aluminum or copper with features such as varying fin shapes, jet fin designs, and pin fin designs. 2. Fans and blowers: These components are used to create an airflow across a device or component to increase its rate of cooling. Aavid offers both axial and centrifugal fans and blowers. 3. Heat pipes: Heat pipes are used for passive heat transfer by taking advantage of the evaporation and condensation of liquids to transfer heat away from the component being cooled. Aavid’s heat pipes are made from aluminum or copper and can be custom designed to fit your particular component. 4. Heatsinks and thermal interface materials: Thermal interface materials are used to fill the gap between the heat sink and the component to improve heat transfer. Aavid offers a wide range of materials including metal filled silicones, phase change materials, and greases.
