Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of this specific part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 30mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 6.77°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Flow Pattern** | Cross-Cut (Straight Fin) | | **TIM (Thermal Interface Material)** | T412 (Pre-applied) | --- ## 2. Key Electronic Features ### A. pushPIN™ Attachment System This part utilizes a specialized mounting mechanism. Unlike adhesive-based sinks, it uses a flexible spring-loaded pin system. * **Pressure:** Ensures consistent contact pressure between the heat sink and the electronic component. * **Reliability:** Reduces the risk of the heat sink detaching due to vibration or thermal expansion. ### B. Thermal Interface Material (T412) The part comes with **T412** pre-applied to the base. * This material fills microscopic air gaps between the component die and the heat sink base. * It is optimized for high conductivity, ensuring efficient heat transfer from the silicon to the aluminum fins. ### C. Advanced Fin Geometry The "101" series utilizes a **cross-cut fin** design. * **Multi-directional airflow:** It allows air to pass through from various angles, making it suitable for compact enclosures where airflow might be turbulent or restricted. * **Surface Area:** The 30mm height provides a large surface area for heat dissipation without a massive footprint. --- ## 3. Applications in Electronics This heat sink is typically found in the following environments: 1. **Telecommunications:** Networking switches and routers. 2. **Industrial PCs:** Embedded systems operating in high-temperature environments. 3. **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or power conversion modules. ---
