### 2. Component Breakdown
#### A. The Heat Sink Body
The body is constructed from high-grade aluminum. It uses a **straight fin** geometry, which is ideal for systems with a clear airflow path. The blue anodized finish is not just for aesthetics; it provides surface protection and slightly increases emissivity for better radiation cooling.
#### B. The pushPIN™ Attachment System
Instead of using messy adhesives or permanent solder, this part uses a mechanical push-pin mechanism.
* **Springs:** High-tension springs provide consistent pressure (loading) on the electronic component to ensure maximum heat transfer.
* **Compression:** This ensures the Thermal Interface Material (TIM) is spread evenly across the die.
#### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM)
The "C2" in the part number indicates the specific thermal performance grade. This model comes with **T766** pre-applied. This is a "phase-change" style material that fills the microscopic air gaps between the chip and the heat sink.

### 3. Airflow Performance (Thermal Resistance)
Thermal performance is measured in °C/W (degrees Celsius per Watt). A lower number indicates better cooling.
| Velocity (LFM) | 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Unducted Flow** | 14.33 | 5.22 | 2.91 | 2.05 | 1.64 |
| **Ducted Flow** | 2.73 | 1.70 | 1.36 | 1.17 | 1.05 |
