What is Heat Sink?

The Heat Sink is the device which transfers the heat from the electronic device to the surrounding, and in this way, it helps in maintaining the temperature of the device in the allowable range.

Why Heat Sink is used in Electronics?

Every electronic device/components get heated during the operation. If the temperature of the device is not maintained within the allowable range, then it can reduce the lifetime of the device and it can even damage the device/component.
So, to maintain the device temperature in the allowable range, the heat sinks are used.

Heat Sink Performance Parameters:

1) Area of the Heat Sink
2) Fin Density
3) Fin Spacing
4) Material
5) Air Flow

This video will be helpful to everyone in understanding what is the heat sink and the importance of the heat in electronics.
