Specification Callouts: Finding the Right Thermal Solution
- Match fan voltage (5V/12V/24V DC) and airflow (CFM or m3/h) to your enclosure volume.
- Check heatsink thermal resistance ( degreesC/W) to ensure adequate cooling for dissipated power.
- Consider noise (dBA), footprint, and mounting requirements in tight or co-located builds.
- Choose pads/greases based on thermal conductivity and material compatibility (silicone, graphite, ceramic).
- Verify connector type (2-pin, Molex, JST) for plug-and-play or wired integration.
For help with compatibility and mounting, consult the Communica team in Pretoria or reference manufacturer datasheets available on our online product pages.

Practical Example: Sizing a Fan and Heatsink
| Situation | Calculation | Example |
|---|---|---|
| DC motor driver in enclosure dissipating 10W | Select heatsink with <3 degreesC/W and fan >=20CFM | Heatsink: Fischer SK 129 75, Fan: Sunon 60x60mm 12V |
| Raspberry Pi cluster (ambient >30 degreesC) | Heatsink + pad for CPU; add mini-fan if extended load | Heatsink: Adafruit Pi Sink, Fan: Multicomp 30mm 5V |
Always size for the worst-case ambient and load conditions common in South African environments. Allow margin (20-30%) for temperature variance and potential future upgrades.
