I recently purchased a heatsink, model: U81C-60NMC, manufacturer: Alpha Novatech, from this web site:
**broken link removed**
The heatsink has what I assume to be a thermal sensor or switch embedded in the base which I would like to use for the LED lamp I am building but I cannot find any specifications for it. I e-mailed the web site from which I purchased the product but they told me they didn't have a data sheet for it. The heatsink is intended for an AMD Opteron 2U rack mount chassis so I thought there might be a standard connector for it on some motherboards but I can't find any such thing either.
I am baffled. Is it a sensor or a switch? If it is a switch does it open on rise or close on rise? Why does the sensor have only two wires? how am I to interpret data from such a device? I need an understanding of it only so far as is required to integrate it into the circuit for the LED lamp so a full data sheet is not necessary. For example, if anyone knows of a standard temperature sensor which connects to a motherboard, what the behavior of such a thing is expected to be, then I can reasonably assume that to work.
Any help would be appreciated.
