(ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-14F-59-C2-R0 | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 7.94°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions** | 40mm x 40mm x 25mm | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | | **TIM (Interface Material)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### ### Breakdown of Key Electronic Parts/Features #### 1. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The **C2** suffix indicates that this unit comes pre-applied with **T766 thermal phase change material**. - **Function:** It fills the microscopic air gaps between the heat source (electronic chip) and the heat sink base to ensure maximum heat transfer. - **Benefit:** Eliminates the need for manual thermal paste application during assembly. #### 2. Push-Pin Mounting Mechanism The **R0** designation refers to the attachment style. - **Components:** It uses plastic push-pins and brass or steel springs. - **Benefit:** This provides a standardized amount of pressure (load) on the electronic component, which prevents damage to the die while ensuring stable thermal contact. #### 3. Fin Design (Cross-Cut) The heat sink features a **straight fin** or **cross-cut** design. - **Material:** Extruded aluminum, which is lightweight and has high thermal conductivity. - **Function:** The fins increase the surface area available for convective cooling by the surrounding air. #### 4. Blue Anodized Finish The blue coating is not just for aesthetics; it is an **anodized finish**. - **Protection:** It protects the aluminum from corrosion and electrical oxidation. - **Radiation:** Anodized surfaces slightly improve the emissivity of the heat sink, aiding in heat radiation. --- ### ### Typical Application This part is commonly used in: * **Networking Equipment:** Routers and switches. * **Industrial PCs:** Cooling embedded processors. * **Power Supplies:** Managing heat in high-wattage converters.
