The **ATS-14D-151-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic integrated circuits (ICs) like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary mechanical and thermal properties of this specific part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Base Dimensions** | 35mm x 35mm | | **Height (Off Base)** | 30mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Spring Type** | ATS-PPS-04 | --- ### 2. Design Characteristics This heat sink belongs to the **pushPIN™** line, which focuses on ease of assembly and consistent pressure. * **Thermal Resistance:** It is designed to provide low thermal resistance, measured in °C/W. Under airflow (200 LFM), it typically operates around **3.95 °C/W**. * **Material and Finish:** The use of aluminum allows for lightweight heat dissipation. The **Blue Anodized** finish is not just aesthetic; it increases surface emissivity and provides corrosion resistance. * **Fin Configuration:** The straight fin design is optimized for unidirectional airflow, making it ideal for standard server or industrial enclosures with dedicated fan cooling. --- ### 3. Attachment Mechanism: Push-Pin The "C2" in the part number indicates the specific attachment and spring combination. 1. **Plastic Push-Pins:** These allow for tool-less installation. The pins snap into pre-drilled holes (typically 3.0mm) on the PCB. 2. **Compression Springs:** A brass or stainless steel spring ensures a constant, even pressure between the heat sink base and the electronic component, which is critical for the effectiveness of the **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)**. --- ### 4.
