Aavid Introduces Fan Heat Sinks For Applications Using Intel's Pentium II Microprocessor.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 4, 1997--Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:AATT AATT Advanced Air Transportation Technologies (NASA air traffic control project) AATT Advanced Aviation Transportation Technology AATT Advanced Air Traffic Technologies (US FAA) AATT Absolute Arrival Time Technique ), the world's leader in providing thermal management solutions to the power and digital electronics industries -- announces two new fan heat sinks A material that absorbs heat. Typically made of aluminum, heat sinks are widely used in amplifiers and other electronic devices that build up heat. Small heat sinks are the most economical method for cooling microprocessors and other chips. optimized to cool applications using Intel's Pentium(R) II microprocessor. Aavid designed the fan heat sinks as drop-in solutions for computer chassis with restricted internal air flow. Aavid's new heat sinks provide design engineers with solutions that incorporate standardized standardized pertaining to data that have been submitted to standardization procedures. standardized morbidity rate see morbidity rate. standardized mortality rate see mortality rate. mechanical attachments to the processor cartridge and motherboard Also called the "system board," it is the main printed circuit board in an electronic device, which contains sockets that accept additional boards. In a desktop computer, the motherboard contains the CPU, chipset, PCI bus slots, AGP slot, memory sockets and controller circuits for the . "As today's new product cycles become shorter and shorter, the pressure's on OEMs to spend less time in design -- including thermal design," says Christopher Chapman, Aavid's computer industry manager. "Our new fan heat sinks for applications using the Pentium II The successor to the Pentium Pro from Intel. Pentium II refers to the CPU chip or the PC that uses it. Code named "Klamath," the Pentium II was a Pentium Pro with MMX multimedia instructions. microprocessor allow design engineers to utilize the latest generation of microprocessor technology without spending an inordinate amount of time in test and development. Our solutions allow the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and to move through manufacturing faster as well, supporting assembly with either a Riv-Screw or clip attachment." Thermal Performance Aavid's two new heat sinks (Model 365355B21100, Model 365455B21100) use high quality single ball-single sleeve, 12-volt fans with a sensor for use with Pentium II motherboards. Thermal resistance for the 3653 and 3654 are 1.05 Celsius/Watt and 0.88 Celsius/Watt respectively. Aavid engineers are available to work with customers should a higher reliability fan be required. Mechanical Performance Aavid's new heat sinks are attached directly to the package of the Pentium II microprocessor. This can be done with Aavid's clips (103000F00000 or 102600F00000) or with Riv-Screw fasteners fasteners In construction, connectors between structural members. Bolted connections are used when it is necessary to fasten two elements tightly together, especially to resist shear and bending, as in column and beam connections. . Each heat sink has standard locating pins to quickly align the assembly. Also included on each heat sink is a Softface(R) interface pad that insures that the interface resistance can be controlled for optimum performance. Motherboard accessories, including a processor retention module (102900F00000) and a heat sink support (102800F00000), are required to pass shock and vibration tests. Aavid is an approved vendor for these critical support components. Availability and Pricing Samples of the Pentium II active solution are now available and the product is shipping immediately in production quantities. The product is priced at $9.54 each in 5K quantities. This package includes the fan heat sink (365355B21100), a Softface interface pad, 2 clips (103000F00000), and the heat sink support (102800F).
