The **ATS-15B-142-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "blue ICE" series and is designed for electronic components requiring efficient thermal management, such as BGAs (Ball Grid Arrays). ### 1. Component Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of this specific part: | Attribute | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-15B-142-C2-R0 | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 30.00mm x 30.00mm x 15.00mm | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Thermal Resistance** | 10.07°C/W (at 100 LFM) | --- ### 2. Key Features and Materials The "Electronic Parts" aspect of this component relates to how it interacts with semiconductors and PCB layouts: * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes with **T766**, a high-performance thermal pad or grease pre-applied to the base to ensure minimal air gaps between the chip and the heat sink. * **Push-Pin Attachment:** Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, the `pushPIN™` system uses a flexible spring-loaded mechanism. This ensures constant pressure for better thermal transfer and allows for secure mounting even in high-vibration environments. * **Material Science:** The use of **6063 Aluminum** provides a high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent thermal conductivity. The Blue Anodized finish is not just aesthetic; it increases emissivity and provides surface protection against corrosion. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Data Performance varies based on the airflow (Linear Feet per Minute) within the electronic enclosure: | Airflow Velocity | 100 LFM (0.5 m/s) | 300 LFM (1.5 m/s) | 500 LFM (2.5 m/s) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Thermal Resistance** | 10.07 °C/W | 5.82 °C/W | 4.64 °C/W | --- ### 4.
