The **ATS-10D-90-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "push pin" series designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of this specific model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Dimensions** | 45mm x 45mm x 25mm | | **Attachment Type** | Push Pin (Brass) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | | **Thermal Resistance** | 6.36°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (High Performance) | --- ### 2. Design and Component Breakdown #### A. Fin Geometry The "Straight Fin" design is optimized for **forced air convection**. The vertical fins allow air from a system fan to pass through easily, stripping heat away from the aluminum base. #### B. The Push Pin Mechanism Unlike adhesive tapes or clips, this model uses a **mechanical push pin** system: * **Ease of Install:** Requires pre-drilled holes in the PCB. * **Constant Pressure:** The brass pins and springs ensure uniform contact pressure between the heat sink and the electronic chip, which is critical for heat transfer efficiency. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part number suffix **"C2"** indicates it comes pre-applied with **T766** thermal grease. This eliminates the need for manual paste application and ensures there are no air gaps between the component and the heat sink. --- ### 3. Applications This part is typically used in the following electronic environments: * **Networking Hardware:** Switches and Routers. * **Industrial PCs:** Controllers that generate significant heat in compact spaces. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling voltage regulators or power transistors. --- ### 4.
