Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Chassis and Heat Sink

Definition
A combined component consisting of the protective metal housing (chassis) and the attached heat dissipation assembly (heat sink) that forms the physical structure and thermal regulation system for an industrial power supply unit. The chassis provides mechanical protection, electromagnetic shielding, and mounting points, while the heat sink dissipates heat generated by internal electronic components to maintain optimal operating temperatures.
Working Principle
The chassis serves as a rigid structural frame that houses and protects internal power supply components from environmental factors and physical damage. The heat sink, typically made of aluminum or copper with fins or other extended surfaces, conducts heat away from power semiconductors and other heat-generating components through thermal conduction, then dissipates it to the surrounding air via convection, maintaining safe operating temperatures.
