Push Pin Heat Sink Installation
Each PRM and VTM evaluation board comes with its own heat sink and push pins for
installation. Before testing, it is highly recommended that heat sinks be installed in the
appropriate location for each board. When installing the push pin heat sink, use caution
not to exceed the maximum compressive on the device listed in the data sheet.
