The part number **ATS-10B-53-C2-R0** refers to a high-performance **heat sink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of their "push pin" series designed for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, and other high-heat integrated circuits. --- ## Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 35mm x 35mm x 30mm | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push Pin (Plastic/Brass) | | **Thermal Resistance** | ~8.00°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Thermal Interface Material** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ## Component Breakdown ### 1. Thermal Design (The Fin Structure) The "B" in the part number indicates a **Straight Fin** geometry. This design is optimized for environments where the airflow is unidirectional. The 30mm height allows for a significant surface area to dissipate heat away from the semiconductor. ### 2. Attachment Mechanism (Push Pins) Instead of using messy thermal adhesives or complex brackets, this part uses a **push-pin and spring** system. * **Ease of Install:** Allows for quick assembly on the PCB. * **Constant Pressure:** The springs ensure even pressure across the component surface, which maximizes thermal transfer efficiency. ### 3. Material and Coating * **Aluminum 6063:** Chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity and lightweight properties. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** This is not just for aesthetics; the anodization layer provides corrosion resistance and slightly improves "emissivity" (the ability to radiate heat). ### 4. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part comes with **T766** pre-applied to the base. This is a phase-change material or high-performance grease that fills microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the chip to ensure the lowest possible thermal resistance. --- ## Part Number Decoder | Segment | Meaning | | :--- | :--- | | **ATS** | Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions) | | **10B** | Series and Fin Type (Straight Fin) | | **53** | Dimensions / Specific Model Reference | | **C2** | Thermal Performance Class / Material Grade | | **R0** | RoHS Compliant / Revision Level |
