The **ATS-12D-75-C1-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or power transistors to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature used by ATS. Here is the breakdown of its technical parameters: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Attachment Type** | Push Pin (with Springs) | | **Thermal Resistance (Flow)** | 14.95°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Thermal Resistance (Static)** | 4.95°C/W (at 500 LFM) | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Dimensions** | 45mm x 45mm x 10mm | | **Surface Treatment** | Blue Anodized | --- ### 2. Design Features * **pushPIN™ Attachment:** This model uses a plastic push-pin and a compression spring. This provides a precise and reliable attachment to the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) without needing adhesive tapes or complex brackets. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** It typically comes pre-applied with high-efficiency thermal grease (usually ATS-54) to ensure maximum heat transfer between the component and the heat sink. * **Low Profile:** With a height of only **10mm**, it is ideal for space-constrained applications like 1U servers, laptops, or compact networking devices. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Comparison The effectiveness of this heat sink varies depending on the airflow (Linear Feet per Minute - LFM) within the device: | Air Velocity (LFM) | 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **°C/W (Unducted)** | 14.95 | 5.61 | 3.22 | 2.33 | 1.88 | --- ### 4. Integration Considerations When incorporating this part into a PCB design, keep the following in mind: * **Hole Pattern:** You must drill holes in the PCB to accommodate the push-pins. The standard hole size for this series is usually **3.175mm**. * **Keep-out Zone:** Ensure there are no SMDs (Surface Mount Devices) directly under the push-pin clips to avoid mechanical interference or shorts. ---
