Technical Specifications The following table outlines the key physical and thermal properties of this specific model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (High Performance) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Mounting Style** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 35.00mm x 35.00mm | | **Height** | 20.00mm | | **Fin Type** | Straight Fin | | **Thermal Resistance** | 13.00°C/W (at 200 LFM) | --- ### 2. Design Characteristics This part is engineered for efficient heat dissipation in constrained spaces. Its design features include: * **Heat Sink Material:** Extruded aluminum provides a lightweight solution with excellent thermal conductivity. The blue anodized finish increases surface emissivity and provides corrosion resistance. * **Fin Geometry:** The straight-fin design is optimized for unidirectional airflow. It allows air to pass through the channels with minimal pressure drop. * **Attachment Mechanism:** It uses a **Push-Pin** system with a compression spring. This ensures: * Consistent pressure across the chip surface. * Secure mechanical attachment to the PCB. * Easy installation without specialized tools. --- ### 3. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C3" suffix in the part number typically refers to the thermal interface material provided with the unit. * **Phase Change Material:** Usually, these models come pre-applied with a high-performance thermal pad or phase-change material to ensure no air gaps exist between the heat sink and the electronic component. --- ### 4.
