Features

 

Needle-like structure

Each needle can be designed with a diameter of 1–3 mm and a height of 10–30 mm. Their dense arrangement increases the heat transfer area, allowing for direct quantification of air-side heat transfer capacity.

 

Multi-directional airflow adaptability

The needle array arrangement allows for adjustable spacing (2–5 mm) according to the airflow direction, maintaining calculable thermal resistance even under uncertain airflow conditions, facilitating thermal design simulations.

 

Corrosion-resistant surface

After anodizing, the oxide film thickness is 5–20 μm, allowing use in humid or chemical environments while ensuring the continuity of the heat conduction path.

FAQ

 

Q: What are the advantages of needle-shaped fins over traditional flat-plate fin heatsinks?

A: The needle-shaped structure offers a larger heat transfer area per unit volume, maintaining quantifiable thermal resistance under multi-directional airflow, making it suitable for environments with variable airflow or high heat flux density.

Q: Can 3003 aluminum be used in humid environments?

A: The anodized oxide film thickness of 5–20 μm provides a corrosion-resistant surface and reduces the impact of air humidity on the heat conduction path.

Q: Does the heatsink require additional thermal interface materials?

A: Temperature grease or thermal pads are typically used at the contact point between the needle-shaped heatsink and the heat source baseplate to reduce contact thermal resistance and ensure efficient heat transfer.
