The **ATS-15D-03-C2-R0** is a specific electronic component manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is a high-performance heat sink designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or power modules. Below is a detailed breakdown of its specifications and features. --- ### 1. General Specifications The ATS-15D-03-C2-R0 belongs to the **maxiFLOW™** series, known for its unique flared fin design that maximizes surface area for effective air cooling. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-15D-03-C2-R0 | | **Component Type** | Heat Sink | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ | --- ### 2. Physical Dimensions Precision in dimensions is critical for ensuring the heat sink fits the PCB layout and the component it is intended to cool. | Dimension | Value | | :--- | :--- | | **Length** | 40.00 mm | | **Width** | 40.00 mm | | **Height** | 9.00 mm | | **Fin Style** | XC-CUT (High Performance) | --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Thermal resistance measures the component's efficiency in moving heat away from the semiconductor. * **Thermal Resistance (Unducted Flow):** ~15.00 °C/W @ 100 LFM. * **Thermal Resistance (Ducted Flow):** Performance improves significantly as airflow velocity increases. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes with **T766** pre-applied, which is a high-performance phase-change material. --- ### 4. Mounting Mechanism: pushPIN™ The "R0" at the end of the part number signifies the mounting hardware configuration. * **Hardware:** It uses the **pushPIN™** system, which involves a brass or plastic pin and a stainless steel spring. * **Ease of Use:** This allows for a secure, vibration-resistant attachment without the need for complex tools. * **Hole Pattern:** Designed for a specific pitch (distance between holes) on the PCB to ensure even pressure across the component. --- ### 5. Key Advantages 1. **XC-CUT Fin Design:** The flared fins increase the surface area for radiation and convection while maintaining a low profile (9mm). 2. **Blue Anodized Finish:** Provides corrosion resistance and improves thermal emissivity. 3. **Pre-assembled:** Comes with the spring-loaded pins and thermal interface material (TIM) pre-installed, reducing assembly time on the production line.
