The **ATS-15B-152-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically an **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) Push-Pin Heat Sink**. It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Brass) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.30°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions** | 35mm x 35mm x 25mm | --- ### 2. Design and Component Breakdown #### A. Fin Profile (Straight Fin) The "152" in the part number indicates a specific fin pattern. This model uses a **straight fin** design, which is optimized for airflow that moves consistently in one direction. The 25mm height provides a large surface area for heat exchange without excessive vertical bulk. #### B. Push-Pin Attachment Mechanism Instead of using messy thermal adhesives or fragile clips, this part uses a **spring-loaded push-pin** system. * **Performance:** Provides consistent pressure (clamping force) to ensure the thermal interface material (TIM) makes perfect contact with the chip. * **Hardware:** Features a brass pin and a stainless steel spring for durability and vibration resistance. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C2" suffix typically denotes that the heat sink comes pre-applied with **ATS-54** (a high-performance thermal phase-change material) or a high-performance thermal grease, ensuring low thermal resistance between the component and the aluminum base. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Metrics The effectiveness of this part depends on the velocity of the air (measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Air Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | **100 (0.5 m/s)** | 3.30 | | **300 (1.5 m/s)** | 1.90 | | **500 (2.5 m/s)** | 1.50 | --- ### 4.
