The **ATS-14F-28-C2-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 high-power semiconductors. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40.00mm x 40.00mm x 15.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 10.57°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Fin Style** | Square Cross-Cut | --- ### 2. Design and Functional Features #### A. Fin Geometry (Cross-Cut) The unit features a **Square Cross-Cut** design. Unlike standard straight fins, cross-cut fins allow air to flow from multiple directions. This makes the heat sink highly effective in environments where the direction of airflow is inconsistent or omnidirectional. #### B. Material and Coating * **Aluminum 6063:** Provides a balance of high thermal conductivity and lightweight properties. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** This is not just aesthetic; anodization protects the aluminum from corrosion and slightly improves heat radiation. #### C. pushPIN™ Attachment System The part uses a specialized "Push-Pin" mechanism which includes: * A pre-drilled hole layout. * Brass or plastic pins with a compression spring. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** Usually comes pre-applied with **T766** (a high-performance thermal grease) to ensure no air gaps exist between the chip and the heat sink. --- ### 3. Performance Analysis (Thermal Resistance) Thermal resistance indicates how effectively the part moves heat away from the component. Lower values are better. | Airflow Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 (0.5 m/s) | 10.57 | | 200 (1.0 m/s) | 4.04 | | 400 (2.0 m/s) | 2.26 | | 600 (3.0 m/s) | 1.63 | --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown The part number **ATS-14F-28-C2-R0** can be decoded as follows: * **ATS:** Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **14:** Product Series. * **F:** Attachment/Spring type. * **28:** Specific dimension/configuration code. * **C2:** Thermal Performance / Material Grade. * **R0:** Revision code (standard version). ---
