The HEATBIND™ solid retainer is the world's best performing thermal retainer for two reasons: it is made from a material with a thermal conductivity of 394 W/mK and it achieves the highest effective area of thermal interface between the plug-in module and chassis for conduction cooled applications.

 

HEATBIND™ achieves a higher area of thermal interface with a single junction between the monoblock frame and the solid retainer thereby reducing the thermal resistance of the system making it superior in performance to any other open or patented retainer technology.

​

The driving screw, has dual action onto the HEATBIND™ solid retainer:  it pushes the retainer to lock and it pulls the retainer to unlock. 

​

For VNX+ systems, HEATBIND™ offers two distinct INNOVATIONS:

​

1. The retainer extends for the full depth of the plug-in module for highest possible area of thermal interface.

2. GRIP Handles are integrated at the tip of retainers to allow for smooth extraction of the unit and a clean face of the plug-in module.
