The **ATS-03B-153-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the **pushPIN™** series, designed to provide efficient cooling for electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of the component: | Feature | Specification | |:---|:---| | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Resistance** | 8.95°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Attachment Type** | Push-pin (Brass) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring (Stainless Steel) | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Physical Dimensions The part is designed for a specific square footprint on a PCB: | Dimension | Measurement | |:---|:---| | **Length/Width** | 40.00 mm x 40.00 mm | | **Height (Fin Height)** | 20.00 mm | | **Pitch (Hole-to-Hole)** | 33.00 mm | --- ### 3. Key Electronic Cooling Features * **Fine Pitch Fin Design:** The "straight fin" pattern maximizes surface area while minimizing pressure drop, making it suitable for systems with moderate airflow. * **pushPIN™ Attachment:** This system uses a spring-loaded brass pin to ensure constant, even pressure on the electronic component, which optimizes heat transfer across the thermal interface material. * **Pre-Applied TIM:** It comes with **T766** thermal grease already applied to the base, reducing assembly time and ensuring a consistent thermal bond. * **Material Efficiency:** The aluminum construction offers a balance between lightweight design and effective thermal conductivity. --- ### 4.
