### 3. Thermal Performance
Thermal resistance indicates how effectively the heat sink transfers heat away from the component into the ambient air. Lower values represent better cooling.
* **Thermal Resistance (Unducted Flow):** 7.28 °C/W @ 100 LFM (Linear Feet per Minute)
* **Thermal Resistance (Ducted Flow):** 2.91 °C/W @ 100 LFM
* **Fin Configuration:** The "maxiFLOW" design features a high-aspect-ratio fin structure that maximizes surface area while minimizing pressure drop.

### 4. Mounting System (pushPIN™)
The **pushPIN™** assembly is a key feature of this part, consisting of:
1. **Spring:** Provides a consistent "Force On Chip" (FOC) to ensure optimal thermal interface contact.
2. **Push Pin:** Available in brass or plastic, designed to snap into pre-drilled holes on the PCB (typically 3.175mm holes).
3. **TIM (Thermal Interface Material):** Usually comes pre-applied with a high-performance Phase Change Material (PCM) or thermal grease to bridge the microscopic gaps between the chip and the heat sink.
