SEIFERT ELECTRONIC GMBH - Individual heat sinks for electrical components

Maximum heat dissipation using PC board heat sinks in minimal board space. Seifert electronic GmbH offers custom heat sinks for use in the board area – precisely measured and flexibly adapted to your requirements. The wide standard range of Seifert electronic includes PC heat sinks in all common designs. We provide various heat sink models such as snap-on heat sinks made of strip material, extruded heat sinks, die-cast heat sinks, as well as finger heat sinks and U-shaped heat sinks, along with the corresponding accessories like mounting clips for fastening. Extruded profile heat sinks are considered classics among PC board heat sinks. We gladly recommend them for use in the board area as they are versatile and can dissipate relatively large amounts of heat.

Seifert heat sinks are designed for both natural and forced cooling applications. From standard heat sinks to individually machined custom profiles, we offer the appropriate heat sink in the desired profile. The standard heat sinks from Seifert electronic GmbH are classic finned heat sinks, primarily intended for natural cooling. However, these heat sinks can also be utilized for forced cooling with airflow. Thanks to the extensive variety of profiles in our standard range, we can fulfill almost any heat sink requirement. From small transistor coolers to profile giants for IGBT cooling, measuring up to 900 mm in width, we provide the right profile for nearly every application. In addition to our standard profiles, we have access to open profiles, offering the possibility of further variations without incurring tooling costs.

High-performance heat sinks from Seifert electronic are exclusively designed for forced cooling applications. The powerful heat sinks from the Vario and DKL series impress with their large cooling surfaces. Utilizing a finned construction, rib spacing can be manufactured that is not achievable with conventional extruded profiles. Thanks to maximized surface area with the same weight, a high-performance heat sink delivers above-average cooling performance per unit volume. We have patented our proprietary compression geometry at Seifert electronic. In this process, individual fins are precisely cold-pressed into a heat sink without the use of adhesives. Heat conduction in the finned heat sinks occurs directly from the base to the fins, without any thermal transition as seen with pressed-in ribs into a solid base. Custom mounting holes can be incorporated into the pressed, surface-milled base.

For forced cooling, Seifert electronic offers compact fan units in various performance classes. The variable fin spacing in the high-performance heat sinks ensures strong cooling during fan operation. In forced convection cooling, fans are required as separate sources of convection. To ensure optimal convection during fan operation, it is recommended to incorporate heat sink profiles. The fin spacing in heat sink profiles is particularly important, as increasing the surface area is key for forced cooling. To push this boundary further, we have continuously reduced the fin spacing in our profiles. Depending on the model, up to three fans per cooler are possible, which can optionally be equipped with pressure chambers for improved air guidance. Most heat sinks are already equipped with aerodynamically designed hollow fins. Additionally, air deflectors for air guidance are available for some heat sink profiles.
