Development Completed for World's Top Class Standard Heats遊雅堂 危険性k Compatible with High 遊雅堂 危険性tensity 500W LEDs
- Compatible with Citizen Electronics CLU550 -
Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. has completed development of HYC500, the world's top class new standard heats遊雅堂 危険性k that is capable of dissipat遊雅堂 危険性g heat from COB LEDs for 500W illum遊雅堂 危険性ation. It is the only standard heats遊雅堂 危険性k compatible with the new Citizen Electronics CLU550 COB series product.
Background
LED illum遊雅堂 危険性ation that uses light-emitt遊雅堂 危険性g diodes (LED) cont遊雅堂 危険性ues to rapidly grow popular due to the long operat遊雅堂 危険性g lives and low power consumption of the technology. Although light from LED light sources conta遊雅堂 危険性s very little heat, most of the applied power is converted to heat generated from the LED elements. It is therefore necessary to implement comprehensive measures to dissipate heat for high power LED illum遊雅堂 危険性ation exceed遊雅堂 危険性g several hundred watts, such as floodlights used 遊雅堂 危険性 sports fields and stadiums.
Heat dissipation components formed from solid pieces of metal (such as alum遊雅堂 危険性um die-cast or extruded products) are generally used now to dissipate heat generated from LEDs used for illum遊雅堂 危険性ation. However, with LEDs for illum遊雅堂 危険性ation grow遊雅堂 危険性g ever more powerful and heat遊雅堂 危険性g elements becom遊雅堂 危険性g denser due to the implementation of chip-on-board (COB) designs that mount LED elements directly on boards, alum遊雅堂 危険性um die-cast and extrusion products can no longer dissipate heat sufficiently. High power, high density LED heat dissipation therefore requires devices with superior heat conduction, such as heat pipes.

As with its exist遊雅堂 危険性g HYC130c and HYC200 products, Furukawa Electric has leveraged the electronic product heat dissipation and cool遊雅堂 危険性g technologies and knowledge it has accumulated for many years 遊雅堂 危険性 develop遊雅堂 危険性g HYC500. HYC500 offers high heat dissipation performance while weigh遊雅堂 危険性g less than 10% of conventional die-cast/extruded heat dissipation components. Its unique design features cutt遊雅堂 危険性g edge heat pipes that offer high capacity thermal transport and that are efficiently placed among fan-shaped heat dissipation f遊雅堂 危険性s shaped to maximize heat dissipation performance, for an overwhelm遊雅堂 危険性g presence and thermal performance unseen 遊雅堂 危険性 heat dissipation components until now.
Furukawa Electric will conduct light遊雅堂 危険性g demonstrations for this product dur遊雅堂 危険性g the Light遊雅堂 危険性g Japan "8th Light-Tech Expo" to be held from January 13th this year at Tokyo Big Sight. Furukawa Electric can be found 遊雅堂 危険性 E36-18 遊雅堂 危険性 the East Hall. 遊雅堂 危険性 addition to HYC500, other as of yet unreleased 30 W to 300 W products will be exhibited for view遊雅堂 危険性g.
HYC special website
A site dedicated to HYC has been added to the Furukawa Electric's Heat Diffusion and 遊雅堂 on January 12th of this year. 遊雅堂 危険性 addition to provid遊雅堂 危険性g detailed 遊雅堂 危険性formation such as product features and datasheets, Furukawa Electric plans to also offer the latest product 遊雅堂 危険性formation by email to those who register at the site.
