Aluminum Profiles: Thermal & Electrical Properties in Electronics
Aluminum's unique combination of thermal and electrical properties makes it invaluable in electronic applications. Here's what designers need to know:
Thermal Management - Where Aluminum Excels
Aluminum is the go-to material for heat dissipation. Its excellent thermal conductivity (≈200 W/m·K) makes it ideal for:
LED lighting housings
CPU and GPU heat sinks
Power supply enclosures
Automotive control units
Electrical Conductivity - Important Considerations
While aluminum conducts electricity (≈60% IACS), designers should note:
Requires proper surface treatment for reliable connections
Needs attention to galvanic corrosion when contacting copper
Often used for bus bars and shielding applications
Key Design Considerations
Profile Design: Complex fins increase surface area for better heat dissipation
Surface Treatment: Anodizing improves insulation and corrosion resistance
Assembly: Thermal interface materials ensure optimal heat transfer
Weight vs Performance: Aluminum offers the best balance for weight-sensitive applications
