Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of this part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | maxiFLOW™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 57.00mm x 57.00mm x 15.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 1.90°C/W @ 200 LFM | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Components & Design Features #### A. The Fin Design (maxiFLOW™) The "P2" in the part number refers to the specific fin geometry. Unlike traditional straight-fin heat sinks, the maxiFLOW™ design features a **tapered fin structure**. This increases the surface area while reducing the pressure drop, allowing air to flow more effectively through the fins even in constrained spaces. #### B. pushPIN™ Attachment This model uses the proprietary **pushPIN™** mounting system. * It consists of a flexible spring-loaded pin mechanism. * **Benefit:** It provides a precise, consistent pressure on the electronic component, ensuring optimal contact with the Thermal Interface Material (TIM) without risking mechanical damage to the PCB. #### C. Blue Anodized Coating The blue anodization is not just for aesthetics; it provides: * Increased surface emissivity for better radiant heat transfer. * Corrosion resistance and electrical insulation for the aluminum body. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Metrics The effectiveness of this heat sink depends on the airflow (LFM - Linear Feet per Minute) within the electronic enclosure: | Airflow Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 200 (1.0 m/s) | 1.90 | | 300 (1.5 m/s) | 1.35 | | 400 (2.0 m/s) | 1.10 | | 500 (2.5 m/s) | 0.95 | --- ### 4.
