Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Type** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance (Flowing)** | 4.92 °C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Thermal Resistance (Static)** | 10.07 °C/W @ Ducted flow | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 30.00mm x 30.00mm x 15.00mm | | **Pitch** | Fine Pitch (Pattern: 4.50mm) | | **Thermal Interface Material** | T412 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Features and Components * **Heat Sink Body:** Constructed from high-grade aluminum for optimal heat dissipation. The "Fine-Pitch" fin design increases the surface area for cooling while maintaining a compact footprint. * **pushPIN™ Attachment:** This is a mechanical mounting system that utilizes a plastic or brass pin combined with a compression spring. It provides consistent pressure to ensure a secure thermal bond between the sink and the chip. * **T412 Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This is a pre-applied phase-change material on the base of the heat sink. It fills microscopic air gaps between the component and the heat sink to maximize heat transfer efficiency. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** Beyond aesthetics, the anodized coating provides corrosion resistance and improves thermal emissivity. --- ### 3.
