Technical Specifications The following table highlights the primary physical and thermal characteristics of this part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push Pin (Brass) with Compression Spring | | **Fin Type** | Straight Fin | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 25mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.03 °C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Compatibility** | Standard PCB mounting holes | --- ### 2. Key Component Features #### A. Advanced Thermal Design * **Straight Fin Geometry:** This design provides low pressure drop and is ideal for systems with directed airflow. * **High-Performance Interface:** It is typically paired with high-conductivity Thermal Interface Material (TIM) to bridge the gap between the heat source and the aluminum base. #### B. Mounting Mechanism * **Push Pin System:** The part uses a spring-loaded brass push pin. This ensures consistent pressure across the chip surface, which is critical for maximizing heat transfer and preventing the heat sink from shifting during vibration. * **Spring Type:** The "R0" designation usually refers to a specific spring force designed to provide high tension without damaging the PCB. #### C. Material Science * **Aluminum 6063:** This alloy is chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity and structural integrity. * **Blue Anodizing:** Beyond aesthetics, the anodized coating increases surface emissivity and provides electrical insulation and corrosion resistance. --- ### 3. Application Use-Cases This specific heat sink is commonly found in: * **Networking Equipment:** Routers, switches, and high-speed modems. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and automation controllers. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling high-wattage MOSFETs or voltage regulators. ---
