Component Specifications The following table details the physical and thermal characteristics of this specific part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-14B-52-C2-R0 | | **Heat Sink Type** | maxiFLOW™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (Anodized Blue) | | **Dimensions** | 40mm x 40mm x 25mm | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Brass Springs/Plastic Pins) | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | | **Fin Style** | Straight / Tapered Fin Design | --- ### 2. Key Electronic & Mechanical Components The "electronic" functionality of this part refers to its integration into a PCB assembly. It consists of three primary elements: #### A. The Heat Sink Body * **Geometry:** Features a flared-fin design which increases the surface area for maximum heat dissipation. * **Airflow Optimization:** Designed specifically for high-velocity air environments. The tapered fins minimize pressure drop across the sink. #### B. The pushPIN™ Attachment System This is the mechanical interface that secures the heat sink to the PCB: * **Compression Springs:** These ensure constant, uniform pressure on the electronic component (die), preventing air gaps. * **Hardware:** It utilizes plastic or brass pins that lock into pre-drilled holes in the PCB, providing a more secure mount than adhesive tapes. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) * **Phase:** Pre-applied **T766** material. * **Function:** This is a thermally conductive compound that fills microscopic air gaps between the electronic chip's surface and the heat sink base, ensuring efficient heat transfer. --- ### 3. Performance Metrics Thermal resistance is measured based on the airflow velocity (measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): * **Unducted Flow (200 LFM):** ~3.00 °C/W * **Unducted Flow (500 LFM):** ~1.50 °C/W * **Unducted Flow (800 LFM):** ~1.10 °C/W --- ### Summary of Usage This part is typically found in **telecommunications, data centers, and industrial computing** where electronic components generate significant heat and require reliable, vibration-resistant mounting solutions.
