HOW TO  SELECT A 
HEAT SINK

Heat sinks reduce and maintain device
temperature below the maximum
allowable temperature of the device 
in its normal operating environment.
In selecting a heat sink to achieve this
goal, four fundamental parameters
must be known about the application:

•  The amount of heat, Q, being gener-

ated by the semiconductor device 
in watts (W).

•  The maximum allowable junction

temperature,Tj, of the device in
degrees Celsius (°C): this informa-
tion is available from the semicon-
ductor manufacturer’s data book 
or fact sheet.

•  The maximum temperature of the

ambient cooling air,Ta, in °C.

•  The type of convection cooling in the

area of the device: is it natural or
forced? If it is forced convection, the
air flow velocity, in linear feet per
minute, must be known.

BASIC FORMULAS:

Heat is a form of energy that flows
from a higher temperature location (i.e.
the semiconductor junction at Tj) to a
lower temperature location (i.e. the
surrounding ambient air at Ta). In semi-
conductor devices, heat will flow from
the device to ultimately the ambient air
through many paths, each of which rep-
resents resistance to the heat flow.This
resistance is called thermal resistance,
denoted as 

θ

in °C/W, and is defined as

the ratio between the amount of total
heat being transferred and the temper-
ature difference that drives the heat
flow.The total thermal resistance of a
system for a given device can therefore
be expressed as

where 

θ

is the thermal resistance in

degrees C per watt, where the subscript
ja represents junction-to-ambient.
Thermal resistance is a measure of rela-
tive performance: a low thermal resis-
tance represents better performance
than a high thermal resistance. A sys-
tem that has a lower thermal resistance
can either dissipate more heat for a
given temperature difference or dissi-
pate a given amount of heat with a
smaller temperature difference.

In cooling electronic devices, heat sinks
lower the overall junction to ambient
thermal resistance.The actual thermal
path runs through the heat sink when
it is mounted on the device by means
of an attachment mechanism. In this
case, the total thermal resistance,

θ

ja, is

the sum of all the individual resist-
ances which represent the physical
aspect of the thermal path.There are
three thermal resistances that are
commonly used to express the total
resistance: 1) the junction-to-case
resistance,

θ

jc, to account for the ther-

mal path across the internal structure
of the device, 2) the case-to-sink resis-
tance,

θ

cs, which is also called the

interface resistance, to account for the
path across the interface between the
device and the heat sink, and 3) the
sink-to-ambient resistance,

θ

sa, to

account for the thermal path between

θ

ja

Tj –

Q

Ta

the base of the heat sink to the ambi-
ent air. It follows that

θ

ja 

θ

jc + 

θ

cs + 

θ

sa

Realistically, a typical thermal designer
has no access to the internal structure
of the device, and can only control two
resistances outside of the device:

θ

cs 

and 

θ

sa.Therefore, for a device with a

known 

θ

jc obtained from the device

manufacturer’s data book, these
become the main design variables in
selecting a heat sink.

Thermal interface between the case
and the heat sink is controlled in a 
variety of manners, with different heat
conducting materials.The interface
resistance associated with  Aavid stan-
dard interface materials can be found
on pages 8-10 of this catalog. However,
when standard materials are not used,
the following information is useful:The
interface resistance between the case
and heat sink is dependent on three
variables: the thermal resistivity of the
interface material (

ρ

, °C/W•inch), the

average material thickness (t, inches)
and the area of the thermal contact
footprint (A, inch

2

).

The interface thermal resistance 
is then expressed as:

NOTE:The thermal resistivity (

ρ

), of

any material, is the reciprocal of its
thermal conductivity (k).Therefore, if
the conductivity is known, its resistivity
can be calculated.The expression is:

Once the 

θ

cs is calculated, the

required thermal resistance from the
sink to ambient (

θ

sa) is easily calculat-

ed by the following equation:

The above information will allow you
to use the catalog’s performance
graphs in choosing a standard, ready to
use, heat sink to meet your require-
ments.When your heat sink application
requires a custom fabricated extrusion,
the thermal resistance (

θ

sa) of any

profile can be calculated by using the
performance factors shown in table on
page 35.The heat sink’s performance
factor (PF) is determined by its expect-
ed length and air flow conditions.Then,

θ

sa is obtained using the PF and the

extrusion profile’s perimeter.

In conclusion, the lower the thermal
resistance, the better the cooling, and
the larger the overall surface area (or
perimeter), the better the cooling.

Find a suitable heat sink.

Assume the use of a Kon-Dux™ pad
with a torque of 2 in-lb. From  Aavid
data for this type of semiconductor, we
know that 

θ

cs = 0.5°C/W.

Aavid 504222 has a thermal resistance
of 4.0°C/watt at an air velocity of 400
ft/min and therefore complies with the
requirements.

A-Dux, when you need thermal conductivity but electrical isolation is important too, A-Dux fits the bill.With the perfor-
mance of a grease, A-Dux has a breakdown voltage of 250 volts/mil of thickness.This material significantly enhances thermal
conductivity between semiconductor packages and heat sinks, and withstands aqueous washing that may occur during the man-
ufacturing process. For faster manufacturing time, have  Aavid pre-install  A-Dux on your heat sink.

A-Pli Gap Filler, when you need to transfer heat across an irregular opening, the  A-Pli series fills the gap.The flexible, elastic
nature of  A-Pli allows it to blanket extremely uneven surfaces, either individually or as a group. A-Pli conducts heat away from
the individual components, or an entire PCB, into metal covers, frames, or spreader plates.

The size of the gap that can be filled depends upon the amount of mounting pressure used. Aavid offers a range of  A-Pli prod-
ucts with different compression rates to solve your thermal needs.

This low durometer product comes with a slightly tacky surface (A-Pli 200), or a very tacky surface (A-Pli 200S).

There are  A-Pli products to meet your requirements when your gap filler needs specific electric properties, too. A-Pli 274 sili-
cone elastomer materials conform to irregular gaps with good thermal conductivity, while providing electrical insulation (A-Pli
274T) or electrical conductivity (A-Pli 274A).

In-Sil-8 Pads, when you need thermal conductance and electrical isolation in one package, In-Sil-8 Pads offer you the best of
both.These silicone-based insulators come with thermally conductive fillers to isolate up to 6000 volts. In-Sil-8 pads withstand
the rigors of assembly, harsh environments, and aging under continuous use.You'll save time with these cost-effective pads too:
installation is 4 times faster than mica and grease, and they won't contaminate solder baths. Order In-Sil-8 Pads with or with-
out pressure-sensitive adhesive, and in standard or custom shapes.

Kon-Dux interface pads are a cost-effective alternative to thermally conductive grease compounds. Aavid pre-applies Kon-Dux
to your heat sink to enhance heat conductance from the semiconductor case and speed your manufacturing process. Kon-Dux
pads are the equivalent of Softface™ for low-volume applications.This material is ideal for use with small, discrete semiconductors.

Sil-Free Grease, when you need to enhance heat transfer between a semiconductor case and a heat sink without the 
migration or contamination associated with silicone-based products, Sil-Free Grease offers an easy-to-apply solution.This
metal-oxide filled, synthetic grease reduces dry interface thermal resistance by 50% to 70% with proper application. Sil-Free
will not dry out, harden, melt, or run, even after long-term, continuous exposure to temperatures up to 200° C. Even in 
a vacuum atmosphere (24 hours at 5-10 Torr and 100° C), Sil-Free exhibits virtually no "bleed" or evaporation.

Softface™ is a cost-effective alternative to thermally conductive grease compounds. Once applied to a heat sink, Softface™
speeds installation of the semiconductor device. Applied with commercial hot-stamping equipment, Softface™ yields excellent
thermal performance with no need for adhesive. For the best value of any interface material, allow  Aavid to pre-apply

PC Board Level Heat Sinks, Options &  Accessories

Ther-O-Bond  Adhesives, when you need a thermally conductive adhesive,Ther-O-Bond  Adhesives offer excellent heat
transfer and high voltage isolation.Ther-O-Bond 1500 and 1600 series epoxy adhesives offer low shrinkage, and coefficients of
thermal expansion comparable to copper or aluminum.They bond readily to metals, glass, ceramics, and most plastics.Ther-O-
Bond 1500 is ideal for large-scale applications, providing excellent heat transfer with dimensional stability over a wide tempera-
ture range. For smaller applications,Ther-O-Bond 1600 produces a strong, durable, high-impact bond, with good heat transfer
characteristics.

Ther-O-Bond 2000  Acrylic  Adhesive cures rapidly at room temperature, while providing a repairable, thermally conductive
bond.

Ther-A-Grip 1050 and 1070, when you need to attach a heat sink to an electrical package, consider Ther-A-Grip double-
sided tape.Ther-A-Grip 1050 uses a thin, Kapton MT-filled, polydimide film coated on both sides with pressure-sensitive, acrylic
adhesive loaded with aluminum oxide for good thermal performance and excellent electrical isolation.Ther-A-Grip 1070 con-
sists of a thin aluminum foil coated with aluminum oxide-filled, acrylic adhesive for electrical conductivity and enhanced thermal
conductivity.

These easy-to-install tapes reduce the need for mechanical fasteners or messy epoxy adhesives.When  Aavid pre-installs the
tape on your heat sink, you benefit with faster production time.With low cost and quick assembly combined with reparability,
Ther-A-Grip saves you time and money.

Ther-O-Link is a silicone-based thermal compound that cost effectively enhances the heat transfer between a semiconductor
case and a heat sink. Easy to apply,Ther-O-Link substantially reduces dry interface thermal resistance, while providing long life
under a variety of conditions.

Performance vs. Length
The thermal resistance of a heat sink changes significantly with length. For example, to convert the published natural con-
vection thermal resistance at a 3” length to a desired length, see page 35 for a length conversion table.

Optimization
Optimization in either forced or natural convection can result in cost and size reduction of the heat sink. In forced 
convection, optimization can reduce the size of the fan or blower.

Performance vs. Length
The thermal resistance of a heat sink changes significantly with length. For example, to convert the published natural con-
vection thermal resistance at a 3” length to a desired length, see page 35 for a length conversion table.

Extrusion Thermal  Information

HOW TO USE PUBLISHED DATA FOR 
EXTRUSION PROFILES

Each extrusion profile is described in a separate box along
with its part number, dimensions, surface area (in

2

/in), weight

per foot of extrusion (lb/ft), and natural convection thermal
resistance for a three inch length of extrusion (°C/W/3”).

60270

The extrusion’s five digit base part number is listed 
in the left hand corner.

In

2

/in

The perimeter of the cross-sectional profile of the extrusion
is also the outside surface area per inch of length (in

2

/in).The

perimeter is used to predict the thermal resistance (

θ

sa) in

the forced convection applications.The performance factor
table on page 35 provides thermal resistance of an extrusion
using two variables; air velocity and extrusion length.

EXAMPLE: Extrusion #65810 has a perimeter of 
26.2 in

2

/in and will be cut to 4.0” long.The air flow is 600

LFM.Therefore, the performance factor is 18.70 (from the
table using 600 LFM and 4.0”) and its 

θ

sa is 0.71 °C/W

(18.70/26.2)

lb/ft

The weight of the extrusion in pounds per foot (lb/ft) is used
as a relative indicator of extrusion cost when considering dif-
ferent extrusions for a particular application.This figure may
also be used to calculate the cross-sectional surface area (in

2

)

of an extrusion.

Area (cross-section) = 1.18 x lb/ft 

°C/W/3”

The theoretical thermal resistance (°C/W) for a three inch
section of extrusion in natural convection is a calculated fig-
ure derived from surface area per inch of length (in

2

/in), a

sink-to-ambient temperature difference of 75°C, a black
anodize finish, and a single point heat source mounted at the
center of the three inch section (the length axis of the extru-
sion is vertical with respect to gravity).

TEMPERATURE CORRECTION 
CONSIDERATIONS

Since natural convection heat sink efficiency degrades with
decreasing sink-to-ambient temperature differential, a cor-
rection factor must be applied to the published data if an
application requires a sink-to-ambient temperature rise of
less than 75°C.The corrected thermal resistance is obtained
by multiplying published °C/W/3” data by the appropriate
factor from the following table:

Temperature Rise (

Tsa) Correction Factor

1.000

70°C

1.017

60°C

1.057

50°C

1.106

40°C

1.170

30°C

1.257

For any extrusion profile in natural convection, the thermal
resistance (°C/W) is more than 25% higher at 

Tsa = 30°C

than at 

Tsa = 75°C.

LENGTH CORRECTION CONSIDERATIONS

The published extrusion data shows natural convection per-
formance for a three inch section with a centrally located
point source heat load. Because the heat load is assumed to
be at a point rather than uniformly distributed, thermal resis-
tance does not change linearly with length. (The ends of a
very long extrusion would be cooler than the center and
therefore the transfer of heat to the surrounding air is little,
if any.) It is therefore necessary to apply a correction factor
to published data for extrusion lengths shorter or longer
than three inches.The corrected thermal resistance for dif-
ferent lengths 
of extrusion is obtained by multiplying published °C/W/3”
data by the appropriate factor from the following table: (see
next page)

This table may also be used to determine the appropriate
length of a  preferred extrusion required to obtain a desired
thermal resistance. Merely divide the desired thermal resis-
tance by the published thermal resistance for a three inch
section to obtain a correction factor.

EXAMPLE: Extrusion 62465 has a thermal resistance of 8.0
°C/W/3 inch. A five inch piece will have a thermal resistance
of 6.24°C/W, using the appropriate length correction factor
of 0.78 [i.e. 8.0°C/W x 0.78 = 6.24°C/W].

Since the thermal resistance of 6.24°C/W is at a tempera-
ture rise of 75°C, the resistance of the heat sink at a temper-
ature rise of 50°C will be increased by the temperature cor-
rection factor of 1.106.There-fore the new natural convec-
tion thermal resistance is now 6.90°C/W [6.24°C/W x 1.106
= 6.90°C/W].

Extrusion Thermal  Information

READING  A THERMAL
PERFORMANCE GRAPH

The performance graphs in the catalog are actually a com-
posite of two separate graphs which, as shown below, have
been combined to save space on the page.The small arrows
on each curve indicate to which axes the curve corresponds.
Thermal graphs are published assuming the device to be
cooled is properly mounted and the heat sink is in its nor-
mally used mounting position.

GRAPH  A is used to show heat sink performance when
used in a natural convection environment (i.e. without forced
air).This graph starts in the lower left hand corner with the
horizontal axis representing the heat dissipation (watts) and
the vertical left hand axis representing the rise in heat sink
mounting surface temperature above ambient (°C). By know-
ing the power to be dissipated, the temperature rise of the
mounting surface can be predicted.Thermal resistance, in
natural convection, is determined by dividing this tempera-
ture rise by the power input (°C/W).

GRAPH B is used to show heat sink performance when
used in a forced convection environment (i.e. with forced air
flow through the heat sink).This graph has its origin in the
top right hand corner with the horizontal axis (top) repre-
senting air velocity over the heat sink (LFM) and the vertical
right hand axis representing the thermal resistance of the
heat sink (°C/W). Air velocity is calculated by dividing the
output volumetric flow rate of the fan by the cross- sectional
area of the outflow air passage.

Velocity (LFM) =

Volume (CFM)

area (ft

2

)

Although most fans are normally rated and compared at
their free air delivery at zero back pressure, this is rarely the
case in most applications. For accuracy, the volume of output
must be derated by 60% to 80% for the anticipation of back
pressure.

EXAMPLE: The output air volume of a fan is given as 80
CFM.The output area is 6 inches by 6 inches or 
36 in

2

or .25 ft

2

.

To find velocity:

velocity = 80 = 320

0.25

Velocity is 320 LFM, which at 80%, derates to 256 LFM.

EXAMPLE  A: Aavid part number 579802 (see page 51) is to
be used to dissipate 3 watts of power in natural convection.
Because we are dealing with natural convection, we refer to
the “A” part of the graph. Knowing that 3 watts are to be
dissipated, follow the grid line to the curve and find that at 3
watts there is a temperature rise of 75°C.To get the thermal
resistance, divide the temperature rise by the power dissipat-
ed, which yields 25°C/W.

EXAMPLE B: For the same application we add a fan which
blows air over the sink at a velocity of 400 LFM.

The addition of a fan means that we are dealing with forced
convection and therefore we refer to the “B” part of the
graph. Knowing the air flow, the thermal resistance is taken
from the graph.This resistance of 8.75°C/W is then multi-
plied by the power to be dissipated, 3 watts.This yields a
temperature rise of 26.25°C.

The difference between the natural convection cooling and
the forced air cooling at 400 feet/minute can be seen by
comparing the thermal resistance of the heat sink in these
environments, 25°C/W vs. 8.75°C/W respectively.

DESIGN ASSISTANCE

Aavid Thermal Technologies can assist in the design 
of heat sinks for both forced and natural convection applica-
tions. Aavid’s technical staff can help in the selection of an
existing “near” optimum extrusion from over 3,000 shapes
that have been previously designed and tooled by Aavid
Thermal Technologies or can design a new extrusion which
best meets the requirements of the application.

Any thermal application needing an extruded heat sink
should be thermally defined as explicitly as possible before
an extrusion is selected or designed.
