Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature that defines its physical and thermal properties. | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Heat Sink (Passive Cooling) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Dimensions** | 35mm x 35mm x 20mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | ~6.73°C/W (at 1.0 m/s airflow) | | **Orientation** | Vertical Fin (Straight) | --- ## 2. Key Electronic Features ### A. pushPIN™ Attachment System This component features a specialized mounting mechanism. It uses a flexible attachment system that includes a high-performance compression spring and a plastic/brass pin. This ensures: * **Constant Pressure:** Maintains uniform contact between the heat sink and the electronic component (CPU, GPU, or MOSFET). * **Secure Fit:** Prevents the heat sink from shifting due to mechanical vibration or thermal expansion. ### B. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "R0" suffix usually indicates the inclusion of a pre-applied thermal interface material. * **Purpose:** Fills microscopic air gaps between the heat sink base and the electronic chip to maximize heat transfer. * **Efficiency:** Typically utilizes high-conductivity phase-change materials or thermal pads. ### C. Advanced Fin Design The fins are designed to maximize surface area while maintaining a low profile. This is critical for **Electronic Control Units (ECUs)** and **Telecommunications hardware** where airflow might be restricted. --- ## 3. Common Applications This part is typically integrated into the following types of electronic systems: 1. **High-Speed Networking:** Used on switches and routers for cooling ASICs. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where mechanical stability is required. 3. **Power Electronics:** Cooling voltage regulators and high-power transistors. --- ## 4.
