Engineered for industrial PLC and control cabinet, the aluminum heat sinks in 6063-T5 aluminium reaches 0.62 K/W thermal resistance. Fins measure 0.4 mm at 3.0 mm pitch; the 2.0 mm base is verified flat to 0.05 mm over 100 mm before dispatch.
Design Approach and Process
Because the base and fins are pressed as one piece, there is no brazed joint to fail. 0.05 mm over 100 mm flatness on the mounting face is held directly from the tool, which keeps thermal interface contact uniform.
A single 63 T stroke forms the whole aluminum heat sinks, so part cost stops scaling with complexity. Tooling runs ±0.03 mm, and the 12 s cycle feeds a 800,000 pcs line.
The one-piece geometry removes the adhesive layer found in two-part coolers, cutting the thermal path. Nothing sits between 6063-T5 aluminium and the airflow except the stamped surface itself.
Every stroke is dimensionally identical, so ±0.15 mm hole position carries across the batch. That is what makes industrial PLC and control cabinet volume programs repeatable.
The clear anodize Type II, 5-10 µm finish is applied after forming, so corrosion protection does not get cut through at the fin roots the way it does on machined alternatives.
Material Selection and Surface Finish
The standard material is 6063-T5 aluminium, supplied with clear anodize Type II, 5-10 µm. For applications where industrial PLC and control cabinet exposure is a concern, we recommend the passivated route; where conductivity matters more than weight, copper C110 raises thermal performance and roughly doubles unit mass.
Tolerance Classes You Can Specify
General dimensions run to ±0.15 mm, with critical features such as ±0.03 mm on fin pitch held separately. Formed geometry inherits tooling repeatability of ±0.03 mm, and hole position is held to ±0.15 mm. Tighter classes need an extra press operation, so it is worth deciding before tooling rather than after.
Inspection Before Every Shipment
Incoming 6063-T5 aluminium is checked for thickness and hardness before it enters the press. After forming, optical comparator 0.002 mm confirms 0.05 mm over 100 mm and 3.0 mm against the drawing.
Sampling is AQL 0.65 for critical dimensions and 1.5 for general, with optical comparator 0.002 mm on every first article. Deviations beyond ±0.15 mm trigger a full-lot sort.
Flatness is measured on granite rather than on cast iron, because 0.05 mm over 100 mm at 80 x 60 x 35 mm reads differently on a plate that has not been lapped. Records keep both readings.
Final containment is PE bag + export carton, 20 kg per carton. Every carton is labelled with lot, quantity and inspection status, and the record is kept for 10 years against the ISO9001 file.
Where This Part Is Used
industrial PLC and control cabinet customers typically specify 6063-T5 aluminium for corrosion reasons and then hold the drawing to ±0.15 mm. The 800,000 pcs line absorbs the volume without a second source.
Where a aluminum heat sinks runs at industrial PLC and control cabinet volumes, part-to-part consistency decides field returns. ±0.03 mm on a 800,000 pcs run keeps the thermal curve inside one band.
industrial PLC and control cabinet designs often run a 2.0 m/s forced-air path. 0.62 K/W at ΔT = 60 K, natural convection means industrial PLC and control cabinet can hold its target with fan power below the acoustic limit.
For industrial PLC and control cabinet prototypes, 5 working days covers drawing review and first article. Production lots move to 12 working days once the ±0.03 mm capability is signed off.

FAQ: Your Questions Before Ordering
How do you verify quality on each batch?
Every lot is inspected with optical comparator 0.002 mm, and the report is included in the shipment. We check 0.05 mm over 100 mm, 3.0 mm, 2.0 mm and hole position against ±0.15 mm. Lot traceability from coil to carton is kept for 10 years.
What is the lead time for the aluminum heat sinks?
Prototype is 5 working days from drawing approval; production is 12 working days after the first article is signed off. Tooling for a new part takes . We quote FOB Guangzhou, and sea freight to Europe runs about 25 to 30 days after booking.
6063-T5 aluminium is the standard choice. For industrial PLC and control cabinet in a corrosive environment we specify 6063-T5 with clear anodize Type II, 5-10 µm; for the highest conductivity we move to copper C110, which raises cost and weight but drops thermal resistance by roughly half at the same envelope.
With 0.4 mm fins and standard PE bag + export carton, 20 kg per carton, damage is rare. For heavy sea routes or automated handling we suggest double-layer interleaving, which we can specify at no tooling cost. We have shipped 800,000 pcs per month this way without a transit claim in the last 3 years.
What is the difference between your aluminum heat sinks and a skived fin aluminum heat sinks?
Skived fins are milled, so you get thin, tall fins and higher density in a given height, but the cost scales directly with fin area. Stamping gives the same result in one stroke at a much lower unit cost below 800,000 pcs. For industrial PLC and control cabinet in a fixed-height enclosure, stamped is normally the right answer.
How We Manufacture and Ship
The line sits in Dongguan in a single ISO9001 plant. 63 T presses cover the aluminum heat sinks family, and 800,000 pcs per month is current committed output.
Production runs on 12 s cycles with in-line vision on 0.05 mm over 100 mm. That is what keeps a 800,000 pcs commitment credible in peak season.
We quote FOB Guangzhou and hold 50 pcs for sampling. Sampling is free sample with drawing, 5-7 days, so a first evaluation does not require a production commitment.
