Running at 300,000 pcs, this nvme heat sink is pressed on 63 T tooling with ±0.03 mm repeatability. 1050A aluminium gives 0.62 K/W at ΔT = 60 K, and clear anodize Type II, 5-10 µm is applied as standard.
Design Approach and Process
Stamping gives a repeatable 0.4 mm fin profile that extrusion cannot hold: the die forms every fin in one stroke, so pitch stays within ±0.03 mm across a 300,000 pcs run.
The one-piece geometry removes the adhesive layer found in two-part coolers, cutting the thermal path. Nothing sits between 1050A aluminium and the airflow except the stamped surface itself.
One supplier now covers 0.4 mm to 0.4 mm fin gauges from the same 63 T press family, so a thermal redesign is a tooling change rather than a new vendor.
Pressing 1050A aluminium keeps the nvme heat sink light, from 15 g depending on envelope, without sacrificing fin density, which matters where airflow path length is already fixed by the enclosure.
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.
The standard material is 1050A 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 ±0.05 mm on mounting hole position 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.
Each batch carries a CMM report from optical comparator 0.002 mm. We record flatness, pitch, base thickness and hole position, and flag anything outside ±0.15 mm before it leaves the line.
Incoming 1050A aluminium is checked for thickness and hardness before it enters the press. After forming, optical comparator 0.002 mm confirms 0.10 mm over 100 mm and 2.0 mm against the drawing.
Lot traceability runs from coil to carton: heat number, press stroke range and inspection record stay attached, so a field issue can be tied back to a specific run.
We inspect 0.4 mm fin tips for burr and crack after forming, because stamping can split a root without shifting any drawing dimension. Burr limit is set per part.
Where This Part Is Used
For industrial PLC and control cabinet builds, the 0.10 mm over 100 mm mounting face matters as much as the thermal rating: it decides whether thermal interface material spreads evenly or pools at one end.
industrial PLC and control cabinet customers typically specify 1050A aluminium for corrosion reasons and then hold the drawing to ±0.15 mm. The 300,000 pcs line absorbs the volume without a second source.
Where a nvme heat sink runs at industrial PLC and control cabinet volumes, part-to-part consistency decides field returns. ±0.03 mm on a 300,000 pcs run keeps the thermal curve inside one band.
industrial PLC and control cabinet packaging and vibration rules push toward one-piece construction. A stamped nvme heat sink has no adhesive to creep, which is the usual failure mode in two-part coolers.

FAQ: Your Questions Before Ordering
What is the minimum order quantity for this nvme heat sink?
MOQ is 500 pcs for a prototype run and 5000 pcs for production. Below the prototype quantity the tooling amortisation dominates the unit cost, so we quote the sample route instead: paid sample refundable with order.
How long does tooling last before replacement?
On 1050A aluminium at normal press tonnage, expect a tooling life of roughly . At 300,000 pcs that is 6 to 12 months. We keep spare die sets on site for industrial PLC and control cabinet programs, which removes the wait if wear shows up in the flatness record.
Can you supply the nvme heat sink pre-assembled?
Yes. We can add clips, screws or a fan shroud as a kitted assembly, with the parts bagged and labelled per set. This is common in industrial PLC and control cabinet programs and adds about 3 working days.
Do you provide CAD files or a drawing?
We supply a 2D drawing with the CMM report, and 3D STEP on request. Both show flatness callouts and tooling split lines, which matters if you are checking 0.10 mm over 100 mm in your own assembly.
What quality certifications do you hold?
The plant is ISO9001 certified, and parts ship with RoHS and REACH declarations on request. Third-party SGS inspection can be arranged before the container is sealed, which is what most industrial PLC and control cabinet buyers specify.
How We Manufacture and Ship
The line sits in Dongguan in a single ISO9001 plant. 63 T presses cover the nvme heat sink family, and 300,000 pcs per month is current committed output.
Our industrial PLC and control cabinet experience runs back to the first tooling programme in 2015. That history is why the standard clear anodize Type II, 5-10 µm and ±0.15 mm are conservative rather than optimistic.
Production runs on 12 s cycles with in-line vision on 0.10 mm over 100 mm. That is what keeps a 300,000 pcs commitment credible in peak season.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the thermal resistance of this nvme heat sink?
The stamped 1050A aluminium nvme heat sink delivers 0.62 K/W at ΔT = 60 K. This is achieved with a 0.4 mm fin profile formed in one stroke on 63 T tooling, holding pitch within ±0.03 mm across a 300,000 pcs run.
What material and finish are used?
The standard material is 1050A aluminium. Clear anodize Type II, 5-10 µm is applied after forming as standard. This protects against corrosion without cutting through at the fin roots, unlike machined alternatives where anodize can be compromised.
What tolerances can you hold on the fin pitch?
The die forms every fin in one stroke, so pitch stays within ±0.03 mm across a 300,000 pcs run. This repeatability is why stamping is chosen over extrusion, which cannot hold a 0.4 mm fin profile at this consistency.
How light can the nvme heat sink be?
Pressing 1050A aluminium keeps the nvme heat sink light, from 15 g depending on envelope, without sacrificing fin density. This matters where airflow path length is already fixed by the enclosure and weight must be minimized.
Stamping gives a repeatable 0.4 mm fin profile that extrusion cannot hold. The die forms every fin in one stroke, so pitch stays within ±0.03 mm across a 300,000 pcs run. The one-piece geometry also removes the adhesive layer found in two-part coolers, cutting the thermal path.
Can you scale production to 300,000 pcs?
Yes. The nvme heat sink runs at 300,000 pcs on 63 T tooling with ±0.03 mm repeatability. One supplier now covers 0.4 mm to 0.4 mm fin gauges from the same 63 T press family, so a thermal redesign is a tooling change rather than a new vendor.
What is the fin profile and why does it matter?
The fin profile is 0.4 mm, formed in one stroke by the die. This repeatable profile holds pitch within ±0.03 mm across a 300,000 pcs run. Nothing sits between the 1050A aluminium and the airflow except the stamped surface itself, which cuts the thermal path.
