The **ATS-14F-82-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heatsink** designed for cooling integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronic components. It belongs to the "push-pin" series manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the key physical and thermal characteristics of this part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-14F-82-C2-R0 | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Brass) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 10.79°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 30.00mm x 30.00mm x 25.00mm | | **Fin Style** | Square-Cut (Cross-cut for multi-directional airflow) | --- ### 2. Component Breakdown #### A. The Heat Sink Body The unit is made of **Aluminum**, which is chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity-to-weight ratio. The **Blue Anodized** coating is not just for aesthetics; it provides corrosion resistance and increases surface emissivity, which slightly improves radiant heat transfer. #### B. The Fin Design (Square-Cut) Unlike straight-fin heatsinks that require linear airflow, the "Square-Cut" or "Cross-cut" design allows air to pass through from multiple directions. This makes it highly efficient in crowded PCB environments where airflow might be turbulent or unpredictable. #### C. The Attachment Mechanism (Push-Pin) * **Spring-Loaded:** The brass push-pins use a built-in spring mechanism to provide consistent pressure (clamping force) on the high-heat component. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes with **T766** pre-applied thermal phase-change material or a similar pad to ensure there are no air gaps between the chip and the heatsink. --- ### 3.
