Technical Specifications The part number is a coded string that defines the physical and thermal characteristics of the unit. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Dimensions** | 40.00mm x 40.00mm | | **Height** | 10.00mm | | **Fin Style** | XC-Cut (Cross-cut) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic or Brass) | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Physical Design Elements #### A. The XC-Cut Fin Pattern The "XC" designation refers to a **cross-cut** fin geometry. Unlike straight-fin heat sinks, the fins are divided into smaller square or rectangular pins. * **Omnidirectional Airflow:** This design allows air to flow through the heat sink from any direction, making it ideal for enclosures with complex internal turbulence. * **Surface Area:** It maximizes the surface-to-volume ratio, increasing heat dissipation efficiency. #### B. Attachment System (pushPIN™) Instead of using messy adhesives or complicated screws, this part uses a spring-loaded push-pin system. * **Consistent Pressure:** The springs ensure that the heat sink maintains a constant, optimal downward force on the component. * **Secure Fit:** It mounts through pre-drilled holes in the PCB, preventing the heat sink from shifting during vibration or shipping. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Thermal resistance is measured in Celsius per Watt (°C/W). The lower the number, the better the heat sink performs. | Airflow Rate (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (Unducted) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 (0.5 m/s) | 11.79 °C/W | | 300 (1.5 m/s) | 4.41 °C/W | | 500 (2.5 m/s) | 3.11 °C/W | --- ### 4.
