Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of this specific model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 30.00mm x 30.00mm x 25.00mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight (Square) | | **Thermal Resistance (Unducted)** | 3.84 °C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T412 (High-performance interface) | --- ### 2. Key Design Features * **Heat Sink Material:** Made from AL6063 aluminum, which offers a high degree of thermal conductivity and is lightweight. * **The pushPIN™ Mechanism:** This uses a flexible, spring-loaded attachment system. It is designed to provide consistent pressure across the component surface, ensuring optimal contact with the heat source. * **Fin Geometry:** The "Straight" fin design is optimized for environments where there is a clear, directional airflow (forced convection). * **Pre-applied TIM:** The "T412" thermal interface material is pre-applied to the base, which eliminates the need for manual thermal paste application and ensures uniform coverage. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This component is typically found in the following electronic systems: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling for small-form-factor networking switches or routers. 2. **Embedded Systems:** High-heat microprocessors or FPGAs on dense PCB layouts. 3. **Power Electronics:** Managing heat for voltage regulators or power modules. --- ### 4.
