Custom heatsink for your electronics
Efficiency in a small format: customised heat sinks for maximised performance
Customised heat sinks are the economical solution if you use electronic components in environments where standard solutions do not provide sufficient heat dissipation or where there are specific requirements. Typical examples of this are
- Small installation space from which a lot of power loss has to be dissipated
- A prototype whose heat sink proves to be inefficient
- A finished device whose electronic components overheat during use and quickly require a better cooling solution in the available installation space
- Housing that is also to be used for heat dissipation
- Heat sinks that should stand out from the competition due to their design
This can be the case in industrial automation, power electronics, high-performance LEDs or in the IT server and PC world. When selecting a customised heat sink, we at EKL work with you to develop the best concept to achieve optimised heat dissipation at a comparatively low cost for the cooler.

Cost-effectiveness even with customised heat sinks
The topic of heat dissipation is always the same - but the environmental variables of your project always place new demands on our expertise, our experience and the cooling device. Our development engineers here in Germany are looking forward to your challenge!
As the proverbial "thrifty Swabians", we pay particular attention to the costs of the solution you are developing. We avoid wasting resources by using computer-based thermal simulations at an early stage. This allows us to test the feasibility and efficiency of various cooling solutions without the use of materials.
We achieve reliable confirmation of the virtual simulation by producing functional and near-series prototypes. The heat sink prototype must prove itself in real operation on your electronic component and confirm its calculated cooling performance with real measured values. This allows your engineers to test the defined properties of your customised cooling solution quickly and reliably in the device.

Customised and fast cooling solution
An incorrect cooling concept can quickly cause the development costs of your project to spiral out of control. If the standard solution used cannot dissipate the heat as hoped during testing, your project will get caught up in additional development loops. This ties up your human resources, extends the time-to-market and makes the entire development unnecessarily expensive.
Concentrate on your core competence of developing a great electronic product - and leave the thermal management to the experienced cooling professionals at EKL! We are your contact for application-specific and cost-effective cooling solutions in every project phase.

- Or whether you need to solve an acute heat problem in a manufactured product.
- Even in all phases in between: We provide cooling!
The EKL project stages for your cooling solutionChoose your point of entry!
Our offer is as flexible as your needs. Are you still early in the development phase and want an idea generator for the best cooling solution? Do you have a ready-made device that gets too hot? Or are you simply looking for an alternative or additional supplier for a heat sink already used in series production? In EKL you will always find a flexible, agile and responsible partner for the cooling of your electronic components and complete systems, whatever the project phase. We look forward to your enquiry!

Concept
Concept
In personal contact and open dialogue with you, our engineers create the creative space and framework to design the best cooling solution for your requirements from the wealth of options available.
Development
Feasibility / simulation
Feasibility / simulation
We test the idea for your heat sink virtually in the thermal simulation. Realistic computer simulations allow variations in manufacturing processes, system structures and other parameters.
Performance optimisation
Even a well-functioning heat sink can still be optimised. We determine the "how" and "how much" by simulating different materials or cooling technologies, for example, as well as simulating various environmental parameters.
Cost optimisation
An expensive heat sink can often be made significantly cheaper by using an alternative manufacturing process. Whether with the same or application-specific performance: we support your product development in reducing costs.
Production drawing
Prototype construction
Prototype construction
Prototypes from our design department enable early testing and targeted solutions to problems in your device. We create your functional and design prototypes with our in-house CNC production.
Series production
small to large
small to large
By manufacturing in-house and in Asia, we can offer all types of heat sinks from small to large series at competitive unit prices. We impress our long-standing customers with our consistently high quality.
Sampling
Incoming goods inspection
Incoming goods inspection
We make no compromises when it comes to quality: Development takes place in Germany and all series products are analysed by our German test laboratory according to test plans using state-of-the-art methods.
Surface finishing
Anodising, powder coating, painting etc. protect your heat sinks from corrosion and environmental influences. But colour is not just chic, because dark-coloured heat sinks also emit more radiant heat.
Assemblies
Pre-assembly
Pre-assembly
We actively relieve your production with pre-assembled assemblies. This reduces your workload per device and guarantees the highest quality, because as cooling professionals we ensure that the heat sink is optimally attached.

With large storage capacities, we offer production-related stocking and consignment warehouses, just-in-time deliveries, customised delivery schedules and flexible shipping options for your individual requirements.
Heat sink with fan or liquid heat sink or ...
By skilfully selecting the material, design, manufacturing process and surface finish of the heat sink, we are guaranteed to find the ideal solution for your heat problem based on 30 years of development experience. The thermal conductivity of the material, the design of the heat sink, the surface area, which is influenced by the design, and the ability to adapt the heat sink directly to the heat source are decisive factors. Equally important is resistance to environmental influences and compatibility with the component to be cooled.
From simple cooling fins - optionally with forced fan cooling - through heat pipes and vapour chambers to cold plates with external heat dissipation, at EKL we cover the entire spectrum of professional heat dissipation for electronic systems:
