Technical Specifications The following table highlights the physical and thermal properties of this specific part number: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 30mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.35°C/W @ 200 LFM (Linear Feet per Minute) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Fin Type** | Straight Fin | | **Weight** | ~50 grams | --- ### 2. Key Design Components #### A. pushPIN™ Attachment System The "04H" in the part number indicates the use of ATS’s proprietary **pushPIN™** system. This consists of: * **Brass Springs:** Ensure consistent pressure (Load) across the thermal interface material (TIM). * **Plastic Push Pins:** Used to lock the heat sink into pre-drilled holes on the PCB. * **Reliability:** This system prevents the heat sink from shifting or losing contact during vibration or shipping. #### B. Thermal Performance The "C2" suffix typically denotes the thermal performance grade. This heat sink is optimized for **forced air cooling** (environments with fans). The straight fin design allows for low pressure drop, making it efficient in systems where airflow is directed across the board. #### C. Material and Coating * **Aluminum:** Chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity-to-weight ratio. * **Blue Anodizing:** This is not just for aesthetics; the anodized layer provides electrical insulation and improves thermal radiation and corrosion resistance. --- ### 3. Applications This part is commonly found in: * **Networking Equipment:** Switches and routers. * **Industrial PCs:** High-heat processors in compact enclosures. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs and voltage regulators.
