The **ATS-10D-46-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" attachment series designed for cooling high-power electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table breaks down the primary physical and thermal properties of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | | **Thermal Resistance** | 11.74°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 200 LFM) | | **Fin Type** | High-Performance XC (Cross-Cut) | --- ### 2. Dimensional Data Precise sizing is critical for ensuring the part fits within the PCB layout constraints: * **Length:** 30.00 mm * **Width:** 30.00 mm * **Height:** 15.00 mm * **Pitch (Hole-to-Hole):** 35.00 mm --- ### 3. Key Electronic Functions While this is a passive mechanical part, its role in an electronic circuit is vital for operational stability: 1. **Heat Dissipation:** It increases the surface area of the semiconductor package, allowing heat to transfer from the junction to the ambient air more efficiently. 2. **Thermal Interface Management:** The "-R0" designation typically implies the inclusion of a pre-applied **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)**, ensuring minimal air gaps between the chip and the aluminum base. 3. **Mechanical Security:** The push-pin mechanism provides consistent downward pressure (clamping force), which is essential for maintaining a stable thermal connection even during vibration or thermal cycling. --- ### 4.
