About Aavid Thermalloy

Aavid Thermalloy's roots run back to 1964, when Aavid Engineering was founded in Concord, New Hampshire to produce extruded aluminum heat sinks for the emerging semiconductor industry. Thermalloy — founded separately in Dallas, Texas — competed alongside Aavid through the 1970s and 1980s in board-level and TO-package cooling. In 1997 the two companies merged to form Aavid Thermalloy, consolidating the largest independent thermal management catalog in North America. In 2010, Aavid Thermalloy was acquired by Audax Group private equity and split from its former parent Applied Precision. In 2016, Aavid Thermalloy was sold to Boyd Corporation (headquartered in Pleasanton, California) and rebranded as the "Aavid Thermal Division of Boyd Corporation." In 2018, Boyd Corporation was acquired by Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking, which remains the current majority owner.

The modern Aavid / Boyd catalog is a rollup of multiple acquisitions, so it helps buyers to trace them. The original Aavid (1964) line brought extruded aluminum board-level heat sinks (the HS series), TO-220 / TO-247 clip-mount cooling (507002 / 590302 / 511702 / 375024 / 375124 part numbers), and pin-fin BGA cooling (MAX-CLIP-PIN, MAXICOOL, BGA-STAR). Thermalloy (pre-1997) added extruded and stamped heat sinks and mounting hardware. Aavid Nuventix (2015) contributed Synjet piezoelectric active-cooling modules — later rebranded Aavid Genie — for LED, telecom and rugged embedded applications. Aavid Thermacore (2016, arriving through Boyd) brought the Thermacore heritage of sintered copper heat pipes, vapor chambers, loop heat pipes and two-phase cooling loops used in aerospace, defense, data-center and high-power industrial builds. Boyd Corporation already had a large parent portfolio in fabricated products (RSL), gasketing, KerAtherm thermal interface materials, EMI shielding, liquid cold plates (machined and friction-stir-welded BoydCP series), and custom liquid loops for EV battery and data-center immersion cooling. Under Goldman Sachs ownership since 2018 the combined group markets the entire stack — passive, active, two-phase, liquid, TEC, TIM and EMI — as Boyd, with the Aavid Thermal Division continuing the historical Aavid Thermalloy heat-sink and heat-pipe catalog.

Hybrid Electronics has channeled legacy and excess Aavid / Thermalloy / Thermacore / Nuventix / Boyd product since 1995. We support locked-BOM industrial, medical, telecom, defense, aerospace and LED-lighting customers who need continued access to pre-1997 pre-merger Aavid extruded and Thermalloy stamped stock, pre-Boyd 2016 direct Aavid part numbers that changed distribution and lot marking after the rebrand, obsolete Nuventix Synjet module lot codes, older MAXICOOL revisions, pre-Thermacore heat-pipe wick constructions, discontinued MAXILED PAR30 / PAR38 luminaire assemblies, older 507002 TO-220 anodized finishes, pre-Goldman Sachs 2018 Boyd branding on cold plates and KerAtherm lots, alongside current-production Aavid Genie piezo, Thermacore-heritage vapor chambers, BoydCP friction-stir-welded liquid cold plates, TEC modules, MicroTherm fans and KerAtherm TIMs when authorized channels show extended lead times.

Aavid Thermalloy product families we source

Our line card covers the merged Aavid / Thermalloy / Thermacore / Nuventix / Boyd portfolio — extruded, bonded-fin and pin-fin board-level heat sinks, TO-220 / TO-247 clip-mount cooling, LED heat sinks, attach hardware, heat pipes, vapor chambers, machined and friction-stir-welded liquid cold plates, thermoelectric coolers, fans and blowers, thermal interface materials, custom liquid cooling loops and Boyd EMI shielding.

Board-level heat sinks — bonded fin

BGA-STAR and MAXICOOL series bonded-fin heat sinks for high-power BGA, QFN, and TO-220 packages. Aluminum extruded base with epoxy-bonded fins for maximum surface area in tight board pitch. Push-pin, clip and thermal-tape attach options.

Board-level heat sinks — extruded

HS-series rectangular extruded aluminum heat sinks (HS-192, HS-247, HS-501, etc.) cut to custom length. The original Aavid 1964 catalog — used for linear regulators, power ICs, DC-DC bricks, and general board-level thermal design.

Board-level heat sinks — pin-fin

MAX-CLIP-PIN and Universal Pin Fin omnidirectional pin-fin extrusions for BGA and FCBGA processors. Cold-forged aluminum pin arrays for high effectiveness in low-airflow chassis and natural-convection industrial builds.

Pre-Boyd 2016 Aavid direct, pre-1997 Thermalloy stamped, and Nuventix Synjet legacy lot codes handled from OEM excess with lot / date-code traceability.

Obsolete & hard-to-find Aavid Thermalloy parts

Aavid Thermalloy has rolled through four ownership changes — Applied Precision, Audax Group PE, Boyd Corporation, and Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking — and absorbed Thermacore, Nuventix, and Boyd's own fabricated-products and KerAtherm heritage. Long-lifecycle industrial power, LED-lighting, medical, telecom, aerospace and defense builds still specify these legacy families. Hybrid Electronics sources them from OEM excess, CEM surplus, and traceable secondary channels:

Frequently asked questions

Is Hybrid Electronics an authorized Aavid Thermalloy distributor?

No — we're an independent distributor and excess-inventory buyer sourcing from OEM excess, CEM surplus, and traceable secondary channels since 1995.

Can you supply Aavid TO-220 and TO-247 heat sinks like 507002B00000G and 375124B00000G?

Yes. TO-220, TO-247 and TO-3P clip-mount and PCB-mount heat sinks — 507002B00000G, 590302B03400G, 511702B00000G, 375024B00000G, 375124B00000G, 577202B00000G and the HSTO-series vertical mount families — are core Aavid catalog and one of our most-quoted lines. We source them across black-anodized, natural aluminum and legacy pre-Boyd 2016 finishes with full lot and date-code traceability.

Do you carry Aavid Thermacore heat pipes and vapor chambers?

Yes — the Aavid / Boyd heat pipe and vapor chamber catalog descends from the Thermacore heritage absorbed through Boyd. We routinely quote standard 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm and 8mm OD sintered copper heat pipes, flattened variants for laptop and industrial-PC cooling, groove-wick pipes for 1G orientations, and Thermacore-heritage sintered copper vapor chambers for CPU / GPU / ASIC and RF power spreading — many with custom bend, flatten and length profiles.

Can Hybrid quote Aavid Genie / Nuventix Synjet piezoelectric coolers?

Yes. Aavid Genie modules (Nuventix Synjet heritage) and legacy Nuventix-branded Synjet piezoelectric active-cooling modules for LED downlight, retrofit lamps and rugged embedded builds are all in our line card. We source current-lot Boyd Aavid Genie and legacy Nuventix Synjet part numbers where locked-BOM builds still specify the original marking.

Do you handle BoydCP liquid cold plates and KerAtherm thermal interface materials after the 2016 Boyd rebrand?

Yes. Machined, vacuum-brazed and friction-stir-welded BoydCP liquid cold plates (BoydCP-100-050, BoydCP-150-100, BoydCP-FSW-200-150, BoydCP-BR-250-200) for IGBT / SiC / GaN power modules, EV battery packs and laser cooling — plus KerAtherm ceramic-filled thermal pads and gap fillers across current and pre-2018 lot codes — are quoted from OEM excess with lot traceability.

What obsolete Aavid Thermalloy families do you still stock?

We routinely source pre-1997 pre-merger Aavid extruded HS-series and pre-1997 Thermalloy stamped clips, pre-Boyd 2016 direct 507002 / 590302 / 511702 / 375024 / 375124 finishes, obsolete Nuventix Synjet lot codes, older MAXICOOL bonded-fin revisions, discontinued MAXILED PAR30 / PAR38 luminaire assemblies, pre-Thermacore heat-pipe wick constructions, pre-Goldman Sachs 2018 Boyd-branded cold plates and KerAtherm TIM lots, and pre-Audax 2010 Applied Precision-parent Aavid stock — all with OEM-excess traceability where documentation exists.
