Custom Aluminum Heat Sink Enclosure

Aluminum Heat Sink Enclosure

The Aluminum Heat Sink Enclosure is a specially designed housing that combines efficient heat dissipation with robust equipment protection, making it an essential component for electronic devices. Constructed from durable aluminum alloy, its unique design not only safeguards internal electronic components but also effectively dissipates heat generated by the device into the surrounding environment. This ensures stable performance and reliable operation even under demanding conditions.

Thanks to aluminum’s excellent thermal conductivity, lightweight properties, and ease of fabrication, these enclosures find widespread applications across various industries, including power drive systems, LED lighting, power converters, and communication equipment.

Key Features of Aluminum Heat Sink Enclosures

Aluminum heat sink enclosures combine efficient heat dissipation with protective functionality through three primary mechanisms. First, thermal conduction: aluminum’s high thermal conductivity (typically around 200 W/m·K) quickly transfers heat from internal components to the enclosure’s surface. Second, thermal convection: the enclosure’s surface fins, often arranged in vertical or horizontal rows, increase the surface area, enhancing airflow and speeding up heat dissipation. Third, thermal radiation: anodized aluminum surfaces not only improve corrosion resistance but also enhance infrared heat radiation for better performance. Additionally, the enclosure acts as a mechanical barrier, shielding electronic components from dust, moisture, and environmental contaminants, thereby enhancing durability.

Exceptional Heat Dissipation

Aluminum offers high thermal conductivity (typically around 200 W/m·K), quickly transferring heat from internal components to the enclosure's surface. Optimized heat sink fins further enhance heat dissipation.

Lightweight Design

The lightweight nature of aluminum makes it ideal for portable devices or weight-sensitive applications, such as drones and communication base stations.

High Strength & Protection

Aluminum provides excellent mechanical strength, protecting internal components from vibrations and impacts while also serving as a critical structural element.

Electromagnetic Shielding (EMI)

Aluminum enclosures offer superior electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, effectively blocking external electromagnetic signals to maintain stable operation for sensitive electronics.

Strong Corrosion Resistance

For custom aluminum extrusion projects, we accept a variety of drawing formats, including CAD files, STEP files, and PDF files. However, for extrusions that require additional machining processes, it’s recommended to provide STEP files, as they ensure precise 3D modeling for machining accuracy.

While PDF files are acceptable, converting them into CAD drawings may result in the loss of certain details, requiring us to manually redraw the design, which could increase lead time. For the fastest and most accurate quotation, we recommend providing CAD files (e.g., DWG/DXF) and STEP files to ensure efficient design evaluation and pricing.

Mold fees are an essential part of the custom aluminum extrusion process. Since every order requires a uniquely designed mold tailored to specific requirements, these molds cannot be used for other products. Therefore, the mold fee is necessary and non-negotiable.

We require 100% upfront payment of the mold fee before mold development begins to ensure timely production. However, as a token of appreciation for your support, we offer a refund of the mold fee or equivalent discounts once the order reaches a certain production volume. Specific policies can be discussed based on your order volume and collaboration details.

Our minimum order quantity (MOQ) varies depending on the size of the product. For smaller-sized products, the MOQ is typically 500kg, while for larger-sized products, it is 2 tons.

We will specify the exact MOQ requirements during the quotation process. If your order quantity does not meet the MOQ, we can still arrange production, but an additional fee will be applied to cover mold preheating and production setup time. Rest assured, this extra fee will be reasonable, and we aim to keep it as minimal as possible to ensure smooth cooperation.

Packaging can be customized according to your needs. Options include using protective film or paper to separate and protect the surface, or foam film for additional surface protection. Products can be palletized or packed into cartons, and the quantity per pallet or carton can be specified by the customer.

The standard packaging involves bundling several pieces together with plastic wrap and then securing them onto pallets. Any packaging requirements beyond the standard will be accommodated, and the associated costs will be clearly provided to the customer.

Mold production typically takes 7 days. After the sample is confirmed, producing a full container load of 26 tons generally requires 14 days for extrusion alone. If surface treatment is required, an additional 3 days will be needed. For machining, extra time will be required depending on the complexity and volume of the machining work. The exact additional time for machining will be determined based on the specific processing requirements.

Aluminum profiles are naturally corrosion-resistant due to the formation of a thin, protective oxide layer when exposed to air or water. This oxide layer is stable and self-repairing, meaning that even if the surface is scratched or cut (such as at exposed ends or during processing), the aluminum will not rust or corrode like iron or steel. Instead, the exposed areas will quickly form a new oxide layer, providing continuous protection against further oxidation.

With proper design, installation, and maintenance, aluminum profiles can last for decades, even in challenging environments. For example, untreated aluminum can easily withstand 20-30 years in outdoor applications, while profiles with surface treatments like anodizing or powder coating can last even longer, often exceeding 50 years. This makes aluminum an excellent choice for applications where durability and long-term performance are essential.

The price of aluminum profiles consists of several components: raw material costs, extrusion processing fees, surface treatment fees, machining costs, and additional packaging fees. Among these, the cost of aluminum as a raw material tends to fluctuate frequently, while other fees remain relatively stable. Due to these fluctuations, our quotations are typically valid for 7 days.

Pricing can be structured in different ways depending on the product and requirements. It can be calculated by weight (e.g., cost per ton), by length (e.g., cost per meter), or by piece (e.g., cost per unit). For products involving extensive machining, such as heat sinks, pricing is generally calculated on a per-piece basis to accurately reflect the additional processing costs. This flexible pricing approach ensures the quote is tailored to the specific needs of the customer.

We can manufacture aluminum profiles in compliance with technical requirements that meet European standards (EN), American standards (ASTM/AA), or other standards as specified by the customer. Custom production is tailored to ensure that the profiles meet the specific standard requirements requested.

Our production equipment is designed for the metric system. If the drawings provided are in the imperial system, we will convert them into metric units for production to ensure accuracy.

It is important to note that while we can machine imperial-threaded holes for fasteners, if you require us to supply matching imperial fasteners, they may not always be available in stock. Custom orders for imperial fasteners typically require a large volume for production. Please consider this when planning your project.
