English term or phrase: heat sink
Definition from Network Dictionary:
A heat sink is a metal base or plate onto which one or more components are mounted to absorb, carry away, or radiate the heat generated by the component(s). Heat sinks are generally made of an aluminum alloy and often have fins. All computers require a heat sink. Some also require a fan. A heat sink without a fan is called a passive heat sink; a heat sink with a fan is called an active heat sink.

Example sentence(s):
  • The heat sink is secured to a printed circuit board with at least one heat generating component through the fixing portion of the base. The heat sink is improved by forming one or more slots at lateral sides of the base such that one or more deformable portions can be defined on the base. Free Patents Online
  • Heatsinks must be designed in a way that air can easily and quickly float through the cooler, and reach all cooling fins. Especially heatsinks having a very large amount of fine fins, with small distances between the fins may not allow good air flow. A compromise between high surface (many fins with small gaps between them) and good aerodynamics must be found. The Heatsink Guide
  • If your chip surpasses a certain temperature, it will fail and cease to operate. Finding a heat sink will be vital to keeping the chip humming and performing as it was meant to. eHow.com

hladnjak


Definition from own experience or research:
Metalni, obično aluminijski, bakreni ili kombinirani pasivni dio elektroničkih ili električnih krugova koji se sastoji od kontaktne površine koja naliježe na hlađeni dio, i rebara, listića ili krakova oko kojih struji zrak ili drugi rashladni medij i odvodi toplinu.

Example sentence(s):
  • Kako je stabilizirani ispravljač namijenjen za pogon potrošača kojima je potrebna struja do 2 ampera, tranzistor T2 se obavezno mora montirati na aluminijski ili bakreni hladnjak,jer bi doslo do pregrijavanja. - FESB, D. Mamut, Seminarski rad  
  • Na tranzistor Q6 potrebno je staviti mali hladnjak. - DIY Upute  

Explanation:
Iz nekog razloga kojem ne mogu ući u trag, aktivni hladnjaci obično se pojavljuju kao "cooler", a pasivni kao "heat sink", mada u citatu iz "Network dictionary" stoji da su oni s ventilatorom "active heat sink", a oni bez njega "passive heat sink".

pasivni hladnjak


Definition from own experience or research:
Heatsink - engleski naziv za 'pasivni hladnjak', ili samo 'hladnjak'. Metalni resetkasti blok, izradjen od materijala koji dobro provodi toplinu. Sluzi za odvodjenje topline sa jezgre procesora. Posto je efektivna povrsina hlanjaka puno veca nego povrsina jezgre, dobijamo manju kolicinu energije po jedinici povrsine, sto je onda i lakse hladiti.
Od materijala koji se koriste, treba napomenuti aluminij kao najslabiji i najjeftiniji, bakar kao jako dobar i malo skuplji, te srebro kao najbolji i najskuplji, a treba napomenuti i da je razlika izmedju bakra i srebra manja nego izmedju bakra i aluminija.

Explanation:
Prijevod za COLLER je hladnjak ili aktivni hldnjak, dok je pasivni hladnjak po mom misljenju precizniji prijevod.
