Thermal Solution Assembly
The reference thermal solution is a passive extruded heatsink with thermal and mechanical
interfaces. It is attached using a clip with each end hooked through an anchor soldered to the
board. Figure 9 shows the reference thermal solution assembly and associated components.
Figure 9 and Figure 10 show alternate views of the reference solution. Full mechanical drawings of
the thermal solution assembly and the heatsink clip are provided in Appendix B.
Appendix A contains vendor information for each thermal solution component.
