IGBT Heat Sink

An IGBT is a high-power switch: it generates heat continuously while it conducts, and its junction has to stay inside a range of roughly -40 to 150 C for the device to survive its rated life. An IGBT heat sink exists to hold that range, and how it is specified depends on whether it cools a chip or a whole module.

At chip level the choice is usually between copper and aluminium sinks, taken on spreading and cost. At module level the sink has to be sized by simulation against the actual power level, because the module footprint and its internal layout decide where the heat actually arrives.

Construction and Materials

The profile is extruded in aluminium - copper where the spreading demand justifies it - then cut to length, machined for mounting holes and a flat contact face, and finished as-machined or anodized. Where a tighter fin pitch than a die can hold is needed, the same envelope is skived instead of extruded.

Process and Quality Control

IGBTs are moving toward large capacity, high frequency, low loss and modular packages - each step raises the heat flux at the same footprint, which is why the sink is now sized per module rather than per kilowatt.

Process flow

  • Design & CFD. 3D layout with CFD review sizes the fin field, pipe route and base thickness to the load and airflow.

  • Base machining. Plate, pockets and pipe channels are milled on 50+ CNC centers to +/-0.005 mm.

  • Fin and pipe joining. Fins skived, stacked or extruded; pipes pressed and soldered; the stack joined to the base by the process the design calls for.

  • Face fly-cutting. Contact face machined flat after joining so the part sits true on the device.

  • Final inspection. Hexagon CMM (+/-0.001 mm) and 2.5D projector check critical features; 4-stage IQC / IPQC / FQC.

What we verify on every batch

  • Fin pitch and height - measured against the drawing before packing.

  • Base flatness - fly-cut face checked on the contact side.

  • CMM report - critical dimensions to +/-0.001 mm.

  • Joint inspection - solder or weld fillet checked along the stack feet.

  • Visual and batch audit - IQC / IPQC / FQC on every run.

Application Scenarios

IGBT sinks are specified by device level:

  • Motor drives

  • Traction converters

  • Welding power supplies

  • Solar inverters

  • UPS and power stacks

Customization and OEM Service

Send the module outline, the power level and the switching loss. KingKa runs the thermal check, then picks a profile or a skived block and machines the fixing pattern.

Procurement Advantages

KingKa is a direct manufacturer with 16+ years in thermal production, 50+ CNC centers, in-house skiving, FSW and vacuum brazing, certified to ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949:2016.

Give the module part number and the switching condition: two modules with the same current rating do not dissipate the same, and the sink follows the loss, not the label.

  • One supplier for the whole assembly. Base, fins, pipes and hardware under one quality system.

  • CFD before tooling. Design review catches a bad layout before metal is cut.

  • Prototype to volume. Samples in 7-15 days, production scheduled to forecast.
