Mellanox network products are designed for various markets and applications including hubs,
switches, routers and adapters. Mellanox heat sinks are part and parcel of Mellanox’s end-to-end
solutions that have been successfully deployed in thousands of Data Center and HPC applications
across the globe which use millions of Mellanox silicon devices and heat sinks.
Mellanox offers heat sinks that are especially designed for its adapter and switch silicon devices
in order to guarantee the best thermal performance and product longevity. For adapter designs,
Mellanox push pins allow for easy placement and for best contact pressure that yields higher
heat-sink thermal efficiency. The springs of the push pins allow for resiliency in contact pressure
that on the one hand holds the heat sink firmly onto the board, and on the other hand protects the
underlying chip from excessive pressure that might damage it. The push-pins are also optimal for
height-limited adapter boards.
Switch heat sinks provide a robust mechanical interface that is especially designed to meet the
bare die requirements, and to successfully sustain shocks and vibrations with minimum pressure on
the PCB. They are easily assembled on PCBs and require no special jigs or tools. Thermal wise, the
heat sinks provide effective heat dissipation through heat pipes, yielding high thermal performance
and best ROI.
The adapter and switch heat sinks can be used for Mellanox adapters and switch devices as well
as for other silicon devices. They are offered standalone or with Mellanox silicon devices.

The Mellanox Advantage
The advanced technology used for designing the heat sinks, together
with advanced thermal and assembly solutions, allow these heat sinks to
continuously demonstrate high performance and longevity in thousands of
deployments across the world.
Finally, these heat sink solutions are perfectly integrated and sized to meet
Mellanox silicon thermal and speed performance requirements. They are
tested in-house on Mellanox boards and systems and over end-to-end fabric
connectivity to guarantee the highest quality design.

Mellanox adapter and switch heat sink solutions offer many benefits and
advantages over other industry heat sink products. Mellanox heat sinks have
been designed to meet silicon device requirements of size, height, thermal
dissipation and to meet high-volume manufacturing challenges, as field-proven
by millions of heat sinks already shipped into production, high-performance
clusters.
