### 3. Electronic & Thermal Performance
The "C2" and "R0" designations refer to the material grade and compliance standards.
* **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes pre-applied with **T766** phase-change material, which enhances the heat transfer between the electronic chip and the aluminum fins.
* **Airflow Efficiency:** The fin design is optimized for straight-line airflow. As airflow speed (LFM - Linear Feet per Minute) increases, the thermal resistance drops significantly:
* **200 LFM:** 9.17 °C/W
* **400 LFM:** 5.02 °C/W
* **600 LFM:** 3.75 °C/W
