Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Series** | maxiFLOW™ | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.31°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Material** | Blue Anodized Aluminum | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded pins) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 57.6mm x 36.9mm x 14.5mm | | **Fin Type** | Flared (Increasing surface area) | --- ### 2. Core Electronic Components & Design #### A. The pushPIN™ Attachment System Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, this model uses a mechanical **pushPIN™** system. This consists of: * **Compression Springs:** Provides precise pressure on the electronic component (CPU/GPU/FPGA) to ensure optimal thermal interface contact. * **Brass/Plastic Pins:** Designed to fit into pre-drilled holes in the PCB, ensuring the heat sink stays secure during vibration or shipping. #### B. Flared Fin Geometry The "Electronic Part" design is unique because of its **flared fins**. * **Benefit:** This geometry maximizes the surface area for a given footprint. * **Airflow:** It is specifically engineered to reduce pressure drop and optimize airflow in high-velocity electronic enclosures. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "R0" designation usually indicates that the part comes with a pre-applied high-performance **Thermal Interface Material**. This material fills microscopic air gaps between the heat sink base and the electronic chip, significantly reducing thermal impedance. --- ### 3. Typical Applications This part is commonly used to cool high-heat-generating electronic components such as: 1. **Network Switches/Routers:** Where high-speed data processing generates localized heat. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs requiring rugged mechanical attachment. 3. **Power Electronics:** Voltage regulators and power modules. --- ### 4.
