The **ATS-04B-152-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of their "push-pin" series designed for efficient cooling of electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other integrated circuits. ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary technical parameters for this specific part: | Parameter | Specification | |:---|:---| | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Brass) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.32°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 35mm x 35mm x 25mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | --- ### 2. Key Features and Components The part is engineered to provide a balance between thermal dissipation and ease of installation: * **Heat Sink Material:** Made of aluminum, which offers high thermal conductivity while remaining lightweight. The **blue anodized finish** provides surface protection and slightly improves radiation heat transfer. * **Push-Pin Attachment:** This model uses a brass push-pin mechanism with a compression spring. This ensures: 1. **Uniform Pressure:** Maintains consistent contact between the heat sink and the chip. 2. **Ease of Assembly:** Quick installation into pre-drilled holes on a PCB without the need for specialized tools. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** Typically, these units come with **T766** pre-applied thermal phase-change material or a similar thermal pad to ensure minimal air gaps between the component and the sink. --- ### 3. Performance Analysis The efficiency of the ATS-04B-152-C2-R0 is highly dependent on airflow (measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM). | Airflow (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | |:---|:---| | 100 (Unducted) | 5.32 | | 200 (Ducted) | 3.32 | | 400 (Ducted) | 2.11 | | 600 (Ducted) | 1.51 | --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown The part number follows a specific nomenclature used by ATS: * **ATS:** Manufacturer prefix. * **04:** Series/Type. * **B:** Material/Configuration code. * **152:** Specific dimensions and fin profile. * **C2:** Refers to the color/finish (Blue Anodized). * **R0:** Revision code or packaging indicator.
