## 3. Key Electronic/Thermal Features
### Thermal Performance
The efficiency of this heat sink varies based on the airflow (LFM - Linear Feet per Minute). As airflow increases, the thermal resistance decreases:
* **@100 LFM (0.5 m/s):** 1.90°C/W
* **@400 LFM (2.0 m/s):** 1.09°C/W
* **@700 LFM (3.5 m/s):** 0.88°C/W
### Mounting Hardware (Push-Pin)
The "R0" suffix indicates the hardware kit included.
* **Pin Material:** Brass or Plastic (Standard ATS push-pin)
* **Spring Type:** Stainless steel compression spring to ensure even pressure across the component surface.
* **TIM (Thermal Interface Material):** Usually comes pre-applied with **T766** high-performance thermal grease.
