Original Press Release:
Richardson RFPD Announces Availability of Skived Fin Heat Sinks from Wakefield-Vette
Designed to support the latest trends in renewable energy, industrial electrification and transportation
June 17, 2019 – Geneva, Ill.: Richardson RFPD, Inc. announced today the availability and full design support capabilities for a portfolio of skived fin heat sinks from Wakefield-Vette.
These standard copper and aluminum skived fin heat sinks offer an alternative to extruded heat sinks for applications that require a thin fin density that cannot be achieved with extrusion technology. Skived heat sinks typically have 0.5 mm (0.020-inch) thick fins.
Skived heat sinks are produced using a series of sharp knives that pass over the copper or aluminum material, producing a thin curl of metal which is then bent vertically to form the fin. Skived fins are produced from a bar of material which is approximately 16-feet in length and then cut to size as required by the final application. The final heat sink can be machined using normal fabrication techniques.
Wakefield-Vette’s SKV Series offers standard off-the-shelf solutions. Custom solutions are also available.
Key features of the SKV Series include:
- Plastic push pins for easy insertion and integrity of the PCB
- No interface between fins and base
- Minimal tooling cost for non-standards
- Improved thermal performance
