Heat Sinks are used as part of a thermal management solution and are designed to absorb heat from another object via thermal contact. The heat sink then dissipates the heat through it's own material. Heat sinks are required in applications that need a way to extract heat from components that would otherwise over-heat.
Heat sinks provide a rapid transfer of thermal energy that allows for quicker cooling of components in many different applications. The most common design of a Heat Sink includes "cooling fins". A fan can also be used in combination with heats sinks to provide additional extraction of heat caused by normal application operation.
