AlN Inserts (Pillars / Pearls) by Pinnacle Pillars

Care instructions now posted below. Available in various sizes as Pillars or Pearls.

Aluminum Nitride (AlN) is a high-performance thermal ceramic commonly used in advanced electronics and industrial thermal applications where fast, efficient heat movement is critical.

Pinnacle Pillars AlN inserts are made from fully sintered material, meaning they are properly densified and stabilized for high-heat use. AlN is known for its ability to move heat extremely quickly, transferring heat roughly 15–25x faster than quartz. In real terms, that means a more responsive insert that does not rely as heavily on long heat soak times to start performing.

AlN is also lightweight, allowing it to spin faster Higher RPM helps spread oil into a thinner film for more consistent contact and more efficient vapor production throughout the hit.

All Pinnacle Pillars AlN Inserts are imported, tested, polished, and professionally cleaned in the USA before being offered, ensuring consistent quality, proper finish, and a product.
