A REPORT ON Nikkei Net said that Furukawa Electric has made a copper/aluminium heatsink with remarkable thermal properties.
The heat sink, it claims, will give up to 80 per cent better cooling than conventional sinks. This design is called crimped fin and the firm expects copper to be at the base of the sink, with aluminium* used for the fins. And the fins will be inserted into holes in the copper base with a fin pitch of 1.9 millimetres.The sinks will be manufactured in China and reach a production capacity of two million a month by September next year. Furukawa has quite a few interesting designs in the heatsink arena that it's patented, either alone or with others.
