The **ATS-10A-151-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component specifically categorized as a **Heat Sink**. It is manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)* and belongs to the **blueICE™** series. Below is a detailed breakdown of its specifications and electronic application. ### 1. Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-10A-151-C2-R0 | | **Base Type** | push-PIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 35.00mm x 35.00mm x 10.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 19.37°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-pin (Pre-assembled) | | **TIM (Thermal Interface Material)** | T766 (Pre-applied phase change material) | --- ### 2. Electronic Component Breakdown The "electronic parts" of this assembly do not refer to active circuitry (like resistors or transistors) but rather the mechanical and thermal interface components required to protect sensitive ICs (Integrated Circuits). #### A. The Heat Sink Body The main body is made of **Aluminum 6063**, chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity and lightweight properties. The "Blue Anodized" finish is not just for aesthetics; it provides surface protection and slightly increases emissivity for better radiation heat transfer. #### B. The push-PIN™ Mounting System Instead of using messy adhesives or complicated screws, this part uses a standardized **push-pin** system. * **Springs:** These provide a consistent "downward force" (compression) on the electronic chip, ensuring optimal contact between the sink and the silicon. * **Pins:** Usually made of brass or plastic, these snap into pre-drilled holes on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board). #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The base comes with **T766** pre-applied. This is a critical electronic "part" that fills the microscopic air gaps between the CPU/GPU and the metal heat sink, significantly reducing thermal resistance. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific model is designed for low-profile electronics where space is constrained but heat dissipation is critical. * **BGA (Ball Grid Array) Cooling:** Used on chipsets, FPGAs, and processors. * **Network Equipment:** Routers and switches with high-density components. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where vertical clearance is limited to 10mm. ---
