The **ATS-10F-180-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the **pushPIN™** series, designed to provide efficient cooling for electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number encodes specific physical and thermal characteristics: | Property | Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (Al 6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Type** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 35.0mm x 35.0mm x 25.0mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.32 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Pressure Drop** | Low (Optimized for high-flow environments) | | **TIM (Thermal Interface Material)** | T766 (High performance) | --- ### 2. Key Features and Components #### A. Attachment Mechanism (pushPIN™) Instead of adhesive tapes, this model uses a **push-pin and spring system**. This ensures: * **Constant Pressure:** Prevents gaps between the component and the heat sink. * **Secure Mounting:** Vibration-resistant, making it ideal for industrial or transport electronics. * **Tool-less Installation:** Many models allow for quick snap-in assembly. #### B. Thermal Performance The "180" in the part number corresponds to the fin pitch and density. This heat sink is designed for **forced air cooling** (fans). The high fin density increases the surface area, allowing heat to dissipate rapidly into the surrounding air. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The unit comes pre-applied with **T766 phase-change material**. This eliminates the need for manual thermal paste application and ensures maximum thermal conductivity between the electronic chip and the aluminum base. --- ### 3. Common Applications * **Networking Equipment:** High-speed routers and switches. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and automation controllers. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs and voltage regulators. ---
