### 3. Thermal Performance
Thermal resistance indicates how efficiently the part moves heat away from the component. Lower values are better for cooling.
* **Thermal Resistance (Unducted Flow):** 15.97 °C/W @ 100 LFM (Linear Feet per Minute)
* **Thermal Resistance (Ducted Flow):** 2.56 °C/W @ 100 LFM
* **Performance Trend:** As airflow increases (to 700 LFM), the resistance drops significantly, down to approximately 1.08 °C/W.

### 4. Mounting and Interface
The "C3" and "R0" designations in the part number refer to the mounting hardware and the thermal interface material.
* **Attachment Type:** **pushPIN™** system. This uses a spring-loaded pin to provide consistent pressure on the chip.
* **Push-Pin Material:** Brass or Plastic (depending on specific revision).
* **Springs:** Stainless steel for durability and high retention force.
* **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** T412. This is a pre-applied phase-change material or high-performance thermal pad that ensures maximum heat transfer between the chip and the aluminum base.
---
### 5. Component Application
* **Target Components:** BGA (Ball Grid Array) chips, CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs.
* **Airflow Requirement:** Optimized for XCUT airflow, meaning it works well in systems where air might be coming from different angles or in turbulent environments.
