The **ATS-10D-200-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It belongs to the **pushPIN™** series and is designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power semiconductors. ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of this specific part: | Characteristic | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 54.00mm x 40.00mm x 5.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 9.78 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Flow Orientation** | XC (Cross-cut / Straight fin) | | **Spring Type** | ATS-PP-04 | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number The part number follows a specific naming convention used by Advanced Thermal Solutions: * **ATS**: Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **10D**: Series designation (likely related to fin density or geometry). * **200**: Product identifier for the specific footprint. * **C2**: Indicates the material/finish (Blue Anodized). * **R0**: Version or revision code. --- ### 3. Key Electronic/Mechanical Features * **Low Profile:** At only 5mm in height, this heat sink is designed for tight spaces where vertical clearance is limited (e.g., 1U servers or thin embedded systems). * **Push-Pin Attachment:** Instead of messy adhesives or simple clips, it uses a push-pin mechanism with a tension spring. This ensures consistent pressure on the component, improving thermal transfer. * **High Surface Area:** Despite its thin profile, the cross-cut fin design maximizes the surface area exposed to airflow. * **Pre-applied TIM:** These parts usually come with a high-performance Thermal Interface Material (TIM) pre-applied to the base to simplify assembly. --- ### 4. Thermal Performance Comparison Thermal resistance decreases as the airflow (Measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM) increases: | Airflow (LFM) | Velocity (m/s) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 100 | 0.5 | 9.78 | | 300 | 1.5 | 4.42 | | 500 | 2.5 | 3.27 | | 700 | 3.5 | 2.72 |
