Key Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Attachment Method** | Push Pin (Plastic/Brass) | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Resistance** | 14.83 °C/W (Unducted) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 25mm | | **Pattern/Style** | Straight Fin | --- ### 2. Physical Design Features * **Heat Sink Material:** Constructed from high-quality **Aluminum 6063**, which offers an excellent balance between thermal conductivity and weight. * **Straight Fin Design:** This specific model uses a straight fin geometry. This is ideal for applications where there is a clear, directional airflow, as it minimizes pressure drop across the sink. * **Surface Treatment:** The **Blue Anodized** finish not only provides a professional aesthetic but also increases the surface emissivity, slightly improving radiation heat transfer and providing corrosion resistance. --- ### 3. Mounting System (pushPIN™) The "R0" designation typically refers to the mounting kit included. The pushPIN™ system is designed to replace traditional adhesive tapes or clunky wire clips. * **Push Pin:** A spring-loaded mechanism that provides consistent pressure to ensure a high-quality interface between the heat sink and the component. * **Compression Spring:** Ensures the thermal interface material (TIM) is evenly distributed to eliminate air gaps. * **Hole Pattern:** This model requires a specific PCB hole pattern (usually 38.00mm pitch for this size) to secure the assembly. --- ### 4. Thermal Performance The efficiency of this part is measured by its thermal resistance at various airflow speeds (measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Airflow Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 (0.5 m/s) | 14.83 | | 300 (1.5 m/s) | 8.29 | | 500 (2.5 m/s) | 6.42 | | 700 (3.5 m/s) | 5.44 | --- ### 5. Application Use Cases * **Embedded Systems:** Cooling of localized "hot spots" on motherboards. * **Telecommunications:** Cooling of high-speed networking chips. * **Industrial PC:** Heat dissipation in environments with controlled airflow.
