Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of this specific model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance (Unducted)** | 5.11 °C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45.00mm x 45.00mm x 15.00mm | | **Pitch** | Fine Pitch | | **Pattern** | XC-CUT | --- ### 2. Key Component Features #### A. Thermal Design * **XC-CUT Pattern:** The fin design is optimized for cross-cut airflow. This allows air to enter the heat sink from multiple directions, making it ideal for systems where airflow direction might be inconsistent. * **Material:** Made from high-grade aluminum for a balance between thermal conductivity and lightweight properties. #### B. Mechanical Attachment (pushPIN™) The "R0" designation refers to the specific attachment mechanism: * **Push-Pins:** These provide a secure, vibration-resistant mount to the PCB. * **Springs:** High-tension springs ensure consistent pressure across the interface between the heat sink and the electronic chip, which is critical for maximizing heat transfer. #### C. Environmental Resistance * **Anodization:** The blue anodized coating prevents oxidation and corrosion while slightly increasing the surface emissivity for better radiant heat dissipation. --- ### 3. Usage Context This part is typically used in the following scenarios: * **Networking Equipment:** Cooling chips in routers and switches. * **Embedded Systems:** For industrial computers where space is limited but heat generation is high. * **Power Supplies:** Managing the thermal load of MOSFETs or voltage regulators. ---
