The **ATS-04F-14-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. It belongs to the "maxiFLOW" series, designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and power modules. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table highlights the core physical and thermal characteristics of this specific part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (Black Anodized) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 50.00mm x 50.00mm x 10.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 9.97° C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ | | **Fin Style** | maxiFLOW (Tapered Fin) | | **Airflow Pattern** | Directional | --- ### 2. Key Features and Component Design #### A. maxiFLOW™ Fin Geometry Unlike standard straight-fin heat sinks, the ATS-04F-14-C2-R0 uses a **tapered fin design**. This increases the surface area for heat dissipation while reducing pressure drop, allowing air to flow more efficiently through the fins. #### B. pushPIN™ Attachment The "R0" suffix often indicates the specific hardware mounting kit. This part uses the **pushPIN™** system, which features: * A pre-drilled hole pattern. * A compression spring to ensure even pressure across the thermal interface material (TIM). * Easy installation without the need for complex tools. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) Typically, these units come with a **pre-applied phase-change material** or high-performance thermal pad on the base, ensuring there are no air gaps between the heat sink and the electronic chip (e.g., a BGA package). --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This component is designed for high-density electronic environments where space is limited but thermal loads are high: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling of high-speed networking processors. 2. **Embedded Systems:** For industrial PCs and automation controllers. 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from MOSFETs or IGBT modules. --- ### 4. Thermal Performance Comparison (Airflow) Thermal resistance varies based on the Linear Feet per Minute (LFM) of the airflow: | Airflow (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 200 | 9.97 | | 300 | 7.30 | | 400 | 6.00 | | 500 | 5.20 |
