About the IC3603A143
The IC3603A143 is a heat sink created by General Electric for the Mark I and Mark II. A heat sink is a passive heat exchanger that transfers the heat generated by an electronic or mechanical device to a fluid medium, often air or liquid coolant, where it is dissipated away from the device, thereby allowing the regulation of the device’s temperature at optimal levels. The IC3603A143 is an important part of equipment because the circuit board in the system will suffer if they become too hot. Soldering will come undone, components will no longer perform properly, this can cause the whole system to crash. With a heat sink, however, that is avoided.
The IC3603A143 has twenty flat head screw points. Each of these ports is labeled one through twenty (1-20). In between the terminals are small white lined rectangles with the letter R and a number one through ten (1-10). Between screw ports two and twelve, three and thirteen, seven and seventeen and ten through twenty is a light blue banded resistor. These resistors are used to restrict energy through these screw ports. There are four screws two on the top and two on the bottom to secure the IC3603A143 into place. Datasheets and manuals may be available.
