Technical Specifications The following table highlights the critical mechanical and thermal properties of this part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Base Dimensions** | 30.00 mm x 30.00 mm | | **Height** | 20.00 mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight (Fine Pitch) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Brass Springs) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 16.03°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | --- ### 2. Key Components & Materials * **Aluminum 6063:** This alloy is used for its excellent thermal conductivity and structural integrity. * **Blue Anodized Coating:** This is not just for aesthetics; it provides corrosion resistance and increases surface emissivity, which slightly improves radiant heat transfer. * **Push-Pin Attachment:** The assembly includes a plastic or brass push-pin and a high-performance compression spring. This ensures a consistent "pressure" on the semiconductor, optimizing the thermal interface. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes pre-applied with **T766** (a high-performance thermal grease) to ensure there are no air gaps between the heat sink and the chip. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Profile Heat sink efficiency is measured by thermal resistance (°C/W). Lower values indicate better cooling. Performance varies based on airflow (LFM - Linear Feet per Minute): | Airflow Velocity | 100 LFM | 300 LFM | 500 LFM | 700 LFM | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Unducted (C/W)** | 16.03 | 4.47 | 2.86 | 2.26 | | **Ducted (C/W)** | 3.12 | 2.03 | 1.67 | 1.47 | --- ### 4. Applications This part is commonly used in small-form-factor electronics where space is limited but heat dissipation is critical: * **Networking:** Routers, switches, and bridges. * **Computing:** Embedded processors, GPUs, and high-speed memory modules. * **Power Electronics:** Voltage regulators and MOSFETs.
