Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | |:---|:---| | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Heat Sink Type** | Fine Pitch (Cross-Cut) | | **Attachment Method** | Push Pin (Spring-loaded) | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions** | 30.00mm x 30.00mm | | **Height (Off Base)** | 25.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 7.52°C/W (at 100 LFM) | --- ### 2. Key Features and Electronic Design The "C2" designation in the part number indicates a specific thermal interface and material profile. Here is a breakdown of the electronic design elements: #### A. Fin Geometry * **Design:** This heat sink uses a **cross-cut fin pattern**, which allows for multi-directional airflow. * **Benefit:** In compact electronic enclosures where airflow direction may be unpredictable, the cross-cut design ensures heat is dissipated regardless of which way the internal fans are blowing. #### B. Attachment (pushPIN™ System) * **Mechanism:** It uses a spring-loaded push-pin mechanism. * **Electronic Safety:** This provides a consistent "Pre-set Pressure" against the electronic component (CPU/FPGA), ensuring maximum thermal contact without the risk of cracking the silicon die or warping the PCB. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) * **T766 Phase Change:** This specific model typically comes pre-applied with **T766**, a high-performance thermal pad. * **Function:** It fills the microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the electronic chip to lower contact resistance. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This part is commonly found in the following electronic sectors: * **Telecommunications:** High-speed routers and switches. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and controllers. * **Power Electronics:** Voltage regulators and high-density power modules. --- ### 4.
