Wakefield-Vette recommends using a high-quality thermal interface material such as Wakefield-Vette's own THERMAL CLAD or equivalent, with a thermal conductivity of at least 1.5 W/m-K.
Yes, the 433K heat sink is designed to withstand moderate vibration levels. However, it's recommended to consult with Wakefield-Vette's application engineers to determine the suitability of the heat sink for specific vibration profiles.
The maximum operating temperature of the 433K heat sink is 150°C (302°F). Exceeding this temperature may affect the heat sink's performance and longevity.
Yes, Wakefield-Vette offers customization options for the 433K heat sink, including modifications to the fin geometry, base plate thickness, and mounting hole patterns. Contact Wakefield-Vette's application engineers to discuss specific requirements.
The recommended torque specification for the mounting screws is 10-12 in-lbs (1.1-1.4 Nm). Over-torquing may damage the heat sink or the component being cooled.
