### 2. Key Component Features
* **Heat Sink Material:** Constructed from high-grade aluminum to balance weight and thermal conductivity. The **Blue Anodized** finish increases emissivity and provides corrosion resistance.
* **Fin Design:** It features a "Fine-Pitch" design. This increases the surface area available for heat dissipation, making it ideal for high-density electronic assemblies with restricted airflow.
* **Attachment (pushPIN™):** Unlike adhesive-based sinks, this uses a push-pin mechanism with a precise compression spring. This ensures:
* Consistent pressure across the processor/component.
* Simplified installation and removal.
* Mechanical stability under vibration.

### 4. Thermal Performance Data
Performance varies based on the Air Velocity (Measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM):
```text
Air Velocity | Thermal Resistance (Unducted)
-------------------------------------------
100 LFM | 6.80 °C/W
200 LFM | 2.30 °C/W
300 LFM | 1.55 °C/W
400 LFM | 1.25 °C/W
```
