A heat sink for IGBT is a vital component used to transfer heat generated by the device to other cooling medium like air or liquid. Heat sink for IGBT power module is  very important in the entire thermal management system of electric vehicles. IGBT module serves as high-voltage control switching component. IGBT is found in battery management system, motor control system, electric air-conditioning control system, charging system, etc.

Heat sink for IGBT is very important in the entire thermal management system of electric vehicles. Its main duty is to transfer the heat generated in order to maintain temperature of the IGBT to an optimal level. Otherwise, the system may get failure due to overheating.

IGBT module serves as high-voltage control switch component. In a new energy vehicle, IGBT is found in battery management system, motor control system, electric air-conditioning control system, charging system, positive temperature coefficient (PTC), etc.,

Thermal conductivity is particularly important for thermal management system  of the IGBT.  OC-ETP®  is used in heat sink applications where thermal conductivity is paramount. OC-ETP®has a very high thermal conductivity due to the high purity of copper. Flatness control is also critical for the fine tolerances required. OC-ETP® has successfully supplied quality products to the major heat-sink producers for many years.

Copper heat sinks manufactured by Oriental Copper are available in 2 grades including  high conductivity Oxygen Free (with oxygen content less than 5 ppm.) and high conductivity electrolytic tough pitch copper (OC-ETP®). Both are high in copper purity with an electrical conductivity of approximately 101% IACS.
