Aluminum Heat Sink with Adhesive for Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+/4B

Wiring Connections:

• No Wiring Required: The heat sink is installed directly onto the Raspberry Pi’s processor or other heat-generating components. No electrical connections or wiring is needed.

Power:

• No Power Requirements: The heat sink does not require any power. It functions purely as a passive cooling solution.

Input and Output:

• Input: The heat sink is applied directly to the surface of the Raspberry Pi’s CPU or other heat-generating areas.
• Output: Improved thermal management, which helps maintain the Raspberry Pi’s performance by preventing overheating.

Physical Characteristics:

• Dimensions:  designed to fit specific areas on the Raspberry Pi. Common sizes for heat sinks are approximately 20mm x 20mm x 5mm.
• Weight: Lightweight, adding minimal extra weight to the Raspberry Pi.
• Finish: Often has a brushed or anodized finish for aesthetic and functional purposes.

Technical Specifications:

• Thermal Conductivity: High thermal conductivity to effectively transfer heat away from the Raspberry Pi’s processor.
• Thermal Resistance: Low thermal resistance to ensure efficient heat transfer.
• Adhesive Type: Thermal adhesive pad that adheres firmly to the Raspberry Pi and transfers heat efficiently.

Additional Features:

• Easy Installation: Simply peel off the protective backing from the adhesive and apply the heat sink to the desired location on the Raspberry Pi.
• Removable: The adhesive allows for easy removal if necessary, though it may leave residue.
• Cost-Effective: Provides an affordable solution for managing the heat produced by the Raspberry Pi.

How to Use:

1. Prepare the Surface:
   • Ensure the area on the Raspberry Pi where the heat sink will be applied is clean and free of dust or debris.
2. Peel Off the Adhesive Backing:
   • Gently peel off the protective backing from the adhesive pad on the heat sink.
3. Apply the Heat Sink:
   • Carefully position the heat sink over the target area on the Raspberry Pi’s processor or other heat-generating components.
   • Press down firmly to ensure a good bond between the heat sink and the Raspberry Pi.
4. Check for Proper Contact:
   • Ensure the heat sink is making full contact with the surface to maximize heat dissipation.
5. Reassemble and Test:
   • Reassemble any removed components and power up the Raspberry Pi.
   • Monitor the temperature to ensure the heat sink is effectively managing the thermal output.

Applications:

• Thermal Management: Essential for preventing overheating in Raspberry Pi projects, especially in cases where the device is used for extended periods or under heavy load.
• Overclocking: Useful for Raspberry Pi users who are overclocking their devices and need extra cooling to maintain stability.
• General Cooling: Improves the longevity and reliability of the Raspberry Pi by keeping temperatures within safe operating ranges.
