The **ATS-10D-183-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is part of the "push pin" series designed for securing cooling solutions to PCBs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table highlights the core mechanical and thermal properties of this component: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Heat Sink Type** | XCUT (Cross-cut) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 5.37°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Base Dimensions** | 40.00mm x 40.00mm | | **Height** | 20.00mm | | **Thermal Interface (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Design Features * **XCUT Fin Geometry:** The "XCUT" design features a cross-cut pattern. This allows for multi-directional airflow, making it ideal for systems where the direction of the fan exhaust might vary or be restricted. * **Push-Pin Attachment:** Instead of adhesive tape or heavy hardware, it uses a spring-loaded push-pin mechanism. This provides consistent pressure (load) on the high-power component, ensuring better heat transfer. * **Material Efficiency:** Made from extruded aluminum, which offers a balance between lightweight design and effective thermal conductivity. --- ### 3. Electronic Application This specific heat sink is typically used to cool high-heat-generating integrated circuits (ICs) including: * **Processors (CPUs/GPUs):** For low-power embedded systems. * **FPGAs & ASICs:** Used in telecommunications and data processing. * **Power Modules:** Voltage regulators or motor drivers that require passive or active cooling to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown The nomenclature for ATS heat sinks generally follows this logic: | Segment | Meaning | | :--- | :--- | | **ATS-10D** | Series/Push-pin style | | **183** | Specific Die/Fin configuration | | **C2** | Color/Finish (Blue Anodized) | | **R0** | Revision or packaging code |
