Brock Metals has been working with various
manufactures that use heat sinks and other heat releasing systems to
dissipate the heat within the components of the unit or heat sink.
The common practice is to use a thin vinyl or rubber strip that
is used to break the electrical contact and simultaneously transfer
the heat to the heat sink. The amount of heat that is transferred to
the heat sink is determined by the density of the rubber or vinyl.
Actual heat transfer is very limited because of the insulating affect
of the vinyl or rubber. This method is used in the window industry to
insulate the outside to the inside of the aluminum windows. Unfortunately
this system has proven limitations in the use of heat transfer.
Fortunately, there is a better solution
of getting rid of the heat.
Brock Metals has produced a thin (.020")
treated metal strip that transfers 100% of the heat and simultaneously
insulates and breaks the electrical contact between the diodes and the
heat sink.
There are numerous Automotive Audio Amplifier
Manufacturers using this method
