The **ATS-14B-83-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS)*. It belongs to the **blueICE™** or **pushPIN™** series, designed to cool specific electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power chipsets. --- ### Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the physical and thermal properties of this part: | Characteristic | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Mounting Type** | pushPIN™ (Brass pins / Steel springs) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 1.60 °C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 30.00 mm x 30.00 mm | | **Height** | 30.00 mm | | **Fin Style** | High-flow, cross-cut (Square pattern) | --- ### Key Components & Features 1. **High-Efficiency Fin Design**: The "cross-cut" fin geometry provides a multi-directional airflow pattern. This allows the heat sink to perform well regardless of the direction of the air coming from the cooling fan. 2. **Push-Pin Attachment**: Instead of using messy thermal adhesives or standard screws, this part uses a **pushPIN™** mechanism. This ensures: * **Consistent Pressure**: Pre-assembled springs ensure the base of the heat sink maintains firm contact with the chip. * **Easy Installation**: The plastic or brass pins snap into pre-drilled holes on the PCB. 3. **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)**: The "R0" suffix typically denotes that the heat sink comes with a high-performance thermal pad or grease pre-applied (usually **T766**), ensuring low thermal resistance between the component and the sink. 4. **Blue Anodized Coating**: This is not just for aesthetics; the anodized layer increases the surface emissivity, slightly improving radiation heat transfer and protecting the aluminum from corrosion. --- ### Application Use-Cases * **Embedded Systems**: Cooling microcontrollers and FPGAs. * **Networking Hardware**: Cooling high-speed routers and switches. * **Power Electronics**: Heat dissipation for voltage regulators or power modules where space is limited to a 30mm footprint. ---
