The 52724AB is an extruded aluminum heat sink designed for the thermal management of 'half-brick' DC/DC converters. It features a low-profile height of 0.24 inches (6.1 mm) and has 11 horizontally oriented fins within its 2.28 x 2.40 inch footprint. This heat sink is capable of dissipating 5W under natural convection with a 60°C temperature rise and exhibits a thermal resistance of 4.2 °C/W under forced convection at 300 ft/min. Constructed from black anodized aluminum, it provides effective cooling in both natural and forced air applications and features standard mounting hole patterns for broad compatibility with market converters.
