The **ATS-14B-32-C2-R0** is a specific part number for a high-performance **Heatsink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of their "Blue" series, designed for effective cooling of electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The part number encodes specific data about its dimensions, material, and thermal performance. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Resistance** | 21.46 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 54mm x 54mm x 12.7mm | | **Attachment Type** | Push-Pin (Plastic or Brass) | | **Thermal Interface (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ## 2. Key Components & Features ### A. Material and Design * **Aluminum 6063:** This alloy is chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity and structural integrity. * **Anodization:** The "Blue Anodized" finish is not just for aesthetics; it provides surface protection against corrosion and increases emissivity for better radiative cooling. ### B. Fin Structure * The heatsink utilizes a **straight-fin** or **cross-cut** design (depending on the specific sub-variant of the B series) to maximize surface area while allowing airflow to pass through with minimal pressure drop. ### C. The pushPIN™ Mounting System * Unlike adhesive tapes, this part uses a mechanical **Push-Pin** system. * It utilizes a spring-loaded mechanism that provides consistent pressure on the electronic component, ensuring optimal contact with the Thermal Interface Material (TIM). --- ## 3. Performance Analysis The effectiveness of the ATS-14B-32-C2-R0 is highly dependent on airflow (measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM). | Airflow (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 | 21.46 | | 300 | 6.07 | | 500 | 3.66 | | 700 | 2.69 | *Note: As airflow increases, the heatsink becomes significantly more efficient at dissipating heat.* --- ## 4.
