### 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 |
