Pressed-in Tube Cold Plates
Cost-effective liquid cooling for moderate heat loads.
Copper tube is mechanically pressed into a machined groove in an aluminium base plate, giving intimate metal-to-metal contact and reliable heat transfer without the cost of a brazed construction.
The product range
A closer look at the materials we supply.
Copper or stainless steel tube pressed into a pre-machined slot for reliable metal-to-metal contact.
Base plates machined to your component footprint, mounting pattern and thermal layout.
Tube can be left exposed for direct contact between the flow path and the heat-dissipating component.
Tube fixed dry, with thermally conductive epoxy, or soldered to suit performance and cost targets.
Proven construction
Widely used in industrial and commercial equipment — a low-risk, well-understood technology.
Custom base geometry
Machined base tailored to your component footprint and mounting requirements.
Copper flow circuit
Copper tube gives excellent chemistry with most coolants and good thermal performance.
Leak tested
Every plate is pressure and leak tested before dispatch.
Cost-effective
A great choice where budget matters and the heat load is well within limits.
Serpentine or parallel
Flow path routed to sit under the hottest components.
Key benefits
- Copper tube in aluminium base
- Cost-effective for medium heat loads
- Custom base geometries
