Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. (TOKYO:5801) is launching sales of
the new HYC Series heat dissipation
products for LED lighting equipment. By achieving lightweight and
compact form, the HYC Series reduces the constraints on the seismic
design of LED lighting, and in turn it reduces the burden of
installation work and the like.

Currently, cast aluminum products and heat dissipation parts
comprising lumps of metal including extruded products are commonly
used for heat dissipation in LED lighting, but as heat dissipation
parts get larger and heavier in keeping with the higher output of
LED lighting, problems with LED lighting equipment that is hard to
handle as well as constraints on seismic designs are occurring.
This year, Furukawa Electric is fully launching sales of the
HYC Series lightweight and compact
heat dissipation products designed for LED lighting equipment.The
HYC Series draws on the heat dissipation/cooling technologies and
expertise in electronics products that Furukawa Electric has
developed over many years, and with this heat dissipation
performance, in addition, HYC Series has been achieved less than
half the weight as compared to conventional cast aluminum and
extruded heat dissipation parts. This is ideal for cooling the high
power LED modules that are mainly used in high ceiling lighting for
warehouses, factories, and gymnasiums, as well as outdoor
floodlights and the like.
“It is a pleasure to be able to release HYC Series.” says
Ryoji Ono, Corporate Vice President of The Thermal
Management Solution & Products Div. ”We will continuously work
to provide heat-sink devices which can contribute to people and
society”
To start with, Furukawa Electric is launching sales of two
types: the HYC 130c (weighing
0.78 kg) 100 – 130 W crimped fin type heat sink, and the 200 W
class HYC 200 (weighing 1.2 kg)
heat pipe heat sink. Furukawa Electric is planning to add to the
lineup going forward in keeping with the further increase of high
power LED modules.
