Mercury Heat Sink

enclustra mercury heat sink hs3

Large Heat Dissipation

High performance devices like the Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC or Intel Arria 10 need cooling in most applications: always make sure the FPGA/SoC is adequately cooled.

The Mercury Heat Sink is an optimal cooling solution for Mercury and Mercury+ FPGA and SoC modules – it is low-profile and covers the whole module surface1.

The Mercury heatsink is provided as part of a heatsink accessory package including:

  • Heatsink body
  • Mounting material
  • Standard fan
  • Gap pad set
