ATLANTA – June 4, 2001 – Radian Heatsinks, a Division of Intricast Company, today announced the introduction of its Removable BGA heatsinks and Fan sink product lines. On display in Booth #9023, the BGA product line will demonstrate the unique EZ Snap™ clip design of its high performance heatsinks.
The removable BGA heatsinks come in convenient standard and low profile sizes including 21 mm, 23 mm, 25 mm, 27 mm, 35 mm, 37.5, 40 mm, 42.5 mm, and 45 mm pre-assembled, black anodized units. “Our customers really like this option,” stated Don Bedard, General Manager of Radian Heatsink Division. “The easy installation snaps right on and self aligns over the microprocessor without special board modifications. We provide the complete assembly so no special tools are required.”
Most of Radian’s standard products can be purchased with a fan attached to provide high capacity spot cooling. Radian uses a selection of fan vendors, all of whom provide high quality products.
Radian uses four types of manufacturing for its heatsinks: casting using high thermal conductivity alloys, high aspect ratio extrusion, microforging, and machining. Aspect ratios up to 25:1 are available.
Additionally, Radian/Intricast uses a proprietary parametric system to assist customers in the design of heatsinks. The system is capable of optimizing a design for heatsinks having straight fins, round pins, or elliptically shaped fins. The system was devised by using state-of-the-art thermal simulation modeling with fluid mechanics and finite analysis coding.
