Type of components to be cooled: All screw-mounted types
Applications: Power conversion, traction drives, UPS, broadcasting, laser & plasma

General presentation:

The air cooling heat sink is still the most commonly used cooling technique in all industries because it is the simplest to set up. And yet, today's electronic components dissipate ever increasing amounts of power, pushing air cooling to its physical limits.

With the aim of bringing its customers ever greater satisfaction, Ferraz Shawmut Thermal Management has entered into an exclusive agreement with the Canadian company R-Theta for distribution of the FABFIN range in Europe.

FABFIN uses a totally innovative technology, now patented in Europe.
That technology means Ferraz Shawmut Thermal Management can offer its customers the highest performances in air cooling at market prices.

Product presentation:

The Radiacal® FABFIN is designed for cooling applications that must dissipate high power densities.
The FABFIN series itself is a mechanical assembly of fins to a base plate by swaging. The materials used may be aluminum or copper in any combination:

- aluminum base plate and fins - aluminum base plate and copper fins - copper base plate and aluminum fins - copper base plate and fins

Advantages to this technology:

In addition to enhanced performance through the use of copper, swaging creates an almost perfect contact between the fins and the base plate, guaranteeing much higher thermal performance than the conventional technologies on the market. Mechanically, this technology meets the extremely severe standards on vibrations imposed on traction applications.
Swaging also reduces the spacing between the fins, further enhancing thermal performance by increasing the surface area available for heat exchange with the air.
