{"title":"Aluminum Heat Sink for Raspberry Pi 3 - 15 x 15 x 15mm","handle":"aluminum-heat-sink-for-raspberry-pi-3-15-x-15-x-15mm","url":"/products/aluminum-heat-sink-for-raspberry-pi-3-15-x-15-x-15mm","description":"A tall-profile aluminium heatsink with pre-applied thermal adhesive for easy installation on the Raspberry Pi 3 and other single board computers. The taller 15mm height provides greater surface area for improved heat dissipation compared to shorter heatsinks. Simply peel off the protective film and press firmly onto the processor.\n\nIn testing, a Raspberry Pi 3 without a heatsink throttled to 0.96 GHz under full CPU load, while the same Pi with this heatsink maintained 1.16 GHz — approximately 20% higher sustained performance.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nPre-Applied Thermal Adhesive – Peel-and-stick installation, no tools needed\n\nTall Profile – 15mm height for maximum passive cooling performance\n\nAluminium Construction – Lightweight with excellent thermal conductivity\n\nUniversal Fit – Works with any processor or chip that fits the 15×15mm footprint\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nDimensions – 15 × 15 × 15mm\n\nMaterial – Aluminium\n\nAttachment – Pre-applied thermal adhesive\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nRaspberry Pi 3 (and other Raspberry Pi models)\nSmall processor and IC cooling\nAny chip requiring passive heat dissipation\n\n\n\nNote: The Raspberry Pi 3 does not strictly require a heatsink — it automatically adjusts clock speed to avoid overheating. This heatsink allows it to maintain higher sustained performance. Most HATs will not fit on top with the heatsink installed, and the taller profile may not be compatible with all enclosures.\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":11613,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-3082","price":3.8,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":100,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
