Zipper Fin Heat Sinks

Ultra-high fin density for maximum thermal performance.

Zipper Fin heat sinks use individual stamped fins mechanically zipped together and bonded to a base. The result is very high fin density and aspect ratio in a compact envelope — ideal where every degree of ΔT matters.

Product range

The product range

A closer look at the materials we supply.

Stamped fin cassette
Stamped fin cassette

Individual aluminium or copper fins stamped and zipped together for a very high fin density.

Bonded to custom base
Bonded to custom base

Fin stack soldered or epoxy bonded to a machined base tailored to your component footprint.

C-shaped ducted fins
C-shaped ducted fins

Fins folded into a 'C' profile to form an integral airflow duct for optimised forced convection.

Heat pipe fin stacks
Heat pipe fin stacks

Fins pressed onto embedded heat pipes to spread heat evenly across the full stack.

High fin density

Pack more surface area into the same footprint than folded or extruded designs.

Large aspect ratio

Tall, thin fins increase surface area without stealing board real estate.

Strong forced-air performance

Optimised for use with fans or system airflow — very low thermal resistance.

Flexible geometries

Base sizes and fin heights tuned to your specific thermal and mechanical envelope.

Copper or aluminium

Material choice to balance thermal performance, weight and cost.

Combine with heat pipes

Embed heat pipes in the base to spread heat evenly across the fin stack.

Key benefits

  • Maximum surface area per unit volume
  • Aluminium or copper construction
  • Optional embedded heat pipes
  • Custom base geometries to your drawing
