A natural cooling heat sink-extrusion process made

Share this Post:

A natural heat dissipation scheme is adopted. The power of the heating chip in the whole case is relatively low, not more than 10W. Moreover, the plastic shell with high thermal conductivity is used as a reference for radiation.The plastic shell with high thermal conductivity is used as a reference for radiation. Overall, the customer requires the temperature of the shell and bottom shell to be no more than 55 degrees. The following is the design data shared.
