Heatsinks for LEDs

7 March 2007 Opto-Electronics

In view of the widespread use of LEDs as indicators and in other lighting applications, a suitable means of heat dissipation is essential for proper functioning and a long service life. Fischer Elektronik has developed several suitable heatsink designs for LEDs.

In addition to many standard heatsinks, which may be used for dissipating the heat from LEDs, modified versions and specially-designed variations for specific LED systems are available. The LEDs can be attached to the heatsink using screws, double-sided thermally conductive adhesive film or epoxy adhesive, or by soldering. Fischer is a certified partner in the Osram network 'LED - Light for you', bringing its expertise in heat dissipation to the partnership, and offering advice and support with its application-focused 'thermal management' and produce customised versions and special designs.
