What to Send for a Custom Copper Heat Sink Quote
A thermal quote is only as good as the inputs behind it. When the drawing, heat load and space limits arrive together, our engineers can review the design for manufacturability and quote the right process the first time. Use this checklist for skived, bonded-fin, heat-pipe and liquid cold plate projects.
1. Drawing or 3D model
Send a drawing or model as PDF, DWG or STEP. Mark critical dimensions, the contact surface and its flatness requirement, and the mounting holes. Tolerances are held to your drawing or to ISO 2768 general tolerances.
2. Heat load and heat source
Give the power to dissipate, the size and position of each heat source, and the maximum allowed temperature if you have one.
3. Air cooling or liquid cooling
| Cooling type | What to send |
|---|---|
| Air-cooled heat sink (skived, bonded-fin or heat-pipe) | Airflow (natural or forced, fan model or air speed if known), ambient temperature and space envelope |
| Liquid cold plate | Coolant (water, glycol or dielectric), flow rate, allowable pressure drop and fitting type |
4. Space envelope and mounting
State the maximum width, length and height available, any keep-out zones, and how the part mounts, for example with screws, clips or a thermal interface material.
5. Finish and documents
Surface finish options include nickel plating, anti-oxidation treatment or as-machined. A RoHS test report and an oxygen-free copper material certificate are available on request.
6. Quantity and timing
Tell us the prototype quantity and the expected production volume; skived copper heat sinks start from 1,000 pcs per design, with best pricing from 5,000 pcs. For skived copper heat sinks, samples take 7–12 days and production takes 25–40 days after sample approval, depending on quantity.

FAQ
Which file formats can I send?
PDF, DWG, STEP, AI, PNG or JPG. For files over 10 MB, mention it in the details box and we send you a secure upload link.
Do you review the design before quoting?
Yes. Every quote includes a free DFM (design for manufacturability) review.
What documents can you provide?
A RoHS test report and an oxygen-free copper material certificate are available on request, and our quality management system is ISO 9001 certified.
