Thermal Grizzly DeltaMate Fitting ST16 Matt Nickel (6-Pack) - thermal interface retention clips

Thermal Grizzly DeltaMate Fitting ST16 Matt Nickel (6-Pack) is a set of six metal retention clips designed to secure DeltaMate thermal interface assemblies. These fittings provide mechanical retention for ST16-compatible thermal interface solutions, maintaining consistent contact pressure between the thermal material and heat spreaders or component surfaces. The matt nickel finish offers corrosion resistance and a neutral appearance suitable for visible and hidden PC cooling builds alike.

Advantages

The fittings deliver reliable mechanical retention, reducing the risk of displacement or uneven contact of the thermal interface material during installation, handling or transport. Made from durable metal with a matt nickel finish, the clips resist oxidation and maintain consistent spring tension over repeated installations. Supplied as a six-pack, they provide enough fittings for multiple assemblies or spare replacements, enabling straightforward maintenance and component-level thermal management.

Suitable for

• Securing DeltaMate ST16 thermal interface assemblies on CPU or GPU modules
• Component-level thermal management in desktop PC cooling systems
• Replacement or spare fittings for thermal interface maintenance
• Small-scale workshop or system integration projects requiring ST16-compatible clips

Key specifications

• Quantity: six fittings per pack
• Material: metal with matt nickel plating
• Compatibility: ST16-compatible DeltaMate thermal interface assemblies
• Function: retention clips to maintain contact pressure between thermal interface and heat spreader
• Finish: matt nickel for corrosion resistance

How to use

Install the fittings by aligning each clip with the designated retention points on the DeltaMate thermal interface assembly and the mating heat spreader or component. Apply the thermal interface material according to the DeltaMate product instructions, position the interface in contact with the component, and then secure the clips to hold the assembly in place. Verify even contact and appropriate compression across the interface before powering the system. For removal, gently release clips and lift the assembly, taking care not to damage contact surfaces.

Recommendations

Use the fittings with ST16-compatible DeltaMate thermal interface products and follow the thermal material manufacturer’s application and curing guidelines. Inspect clips for deformation before reuse and replace any that show signs of wear to ensure consistent thermal contact and reliable cooling performance.
