It is designed for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, and power modules. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table highlights the physical and thermal properties of this specific part number: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions** | 40mm x 40mm x 30mm | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ | | **Thermal Resistance** | 5.63°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Flow Type** | Straight Fin | | **Fire Rating** | UL94-V0 | --- ### 2. Design Breakdown The "electronic parts" of this assembly include the heat sink itself and its mounting hardware: * **Heat Sink Body:** Extruded aluminum designed with high-density fins to increase the surface area for convective cooling. * **pushPIN™ Attachment:** Instead of messy adhesives, this part uses a mechanical spring-loaded pin system. This provides consistent pressure (TIM compression) and allows for secure mounting to a PCB. * **Internal Springs:** Usually made of stainless steel or brass, these provide the necessary tension to ensure the heat sink maintains thermal contact with the chip. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** The "-R0" suffix typically denotes that the unit comes pre-applied with a high-performance thermal pad or phase-change material on the base. --- ### 3.
