Technical Specifications The following table breaks down the primary physical and thermal characteristics of this part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | maxiFLOW™ | | **Type** | Top Mount Heat Sink | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.29°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 48.26mm x 48.26mm x 15mm | | **Thermal Interface Material** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Components & Design The "parts" or design elements that make this component effective for electronic systems include: * **The Heat Sink Body:** It features a unique flared fin design. Unlike straight-fin sinks, the flared fins increase the surface area and create more turbulence, which improves heat dissipation in low-airflow environments. * **pushPIN™ Attachment:** This is the mechanical "part" used to secure the sink to the PCB. It uses a brass or plastic pin with a high-performance compression spring to ensure even pressure across the electronic chip. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** The unit comes with **T766** pre-applied. This is a "phase-change" or high-conductivity material that fills microscopic air gaps between the electronic chip and the heat sink base to maximize heat transfer. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** This is not just for aesthetics; the anodization process protects the aluminum from corrosion and slightly improves radiant heat emissivity. --- ### 3.
