## Electronic Component Analysis: ATS-14F-206-C2-R0 The **ATS-14F-206-C2-R0** is a high-performance **heat sink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "push pin" series designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Product Type** | Heat Sink | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Resistance** | 7.71 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Attachment Method** | Push Pin (Plastic) | | **Dimensions** | 50mm x 50mm x 10mm | | **Spring Type** | ATS-PPS-14 | --- ### 2. Design and Functional Features * **Low Profile:** The "10mm" height makes it ideal for space-constrained environments such as 1U servers or thin-client devices. * **XC Cut (Cross-Cut):** The fin design is cross-cut, which allows for multi-directional airflow. This makes it efficient even if the airflow direction is not perfectly aligned with the heat sink fins. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** This is not just for aesthetics; the anodized coating provides surface protection and slightly increases thermal emissivity compared to bare aluminum. * **Push-Pin Mounting:** It uses a pre-assembled push pin and spring mechanism. This ensures: * Consistent pressure on the component for optimal thermal contact. * Easy and tool-less installation. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Data Performance varies based on the Airflow (Measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Airflow Velocity | Thermal Resistance (Unducted) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 LFM (0.5 m/s) | 7.71 °C/W | | 300 LFM (1.5 m/s) | 3.12 °C/W | | 500 LFM (2.5 m/s) | 2.21 °C/W | | 700 LFM (3.5 m/s) | 1.81 °C/W | --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown Understanding the nomenclature helps in identifying variants: * **ATS:** Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **14:** Push Pin/Spring style used. * **F:** Fin pitch/style (XC Cut). * **206:** Specific geometry/sizing code. * **C2:** Material/Finish code (Blue Anodized Aluminum). * **R0:** RoHS Compliance/Revision status. ---
