The **ATS-15D-154-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "pushPIN™" series, designed for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, and other high-heat surface-mount devices. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of this specific component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance (Flowing)** | 4.84 °C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Thermal Resistance (Static)** | 2.22 °C/W @ 400 LFM | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 40mm x 40mm | | **Height** | 25mm | | **Weight** | 63.38 grams | | **Interface Material** | T766 (High Performance Phase Change) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Features * **Thermal Management:** The part is designed to dissipate heat from integrated circuits (ICs). The 25mm height and fin density are optimized for forced air cooling environments. * **Attachment Mechanism:** It uses the **pushPIN™** system, which consists of a brass pin and a stainless steel spring. This provides consistent pressure across the component surface, ensuring maximum heat transfer. * **Interface Material (TIM):** It comes pre-applied with **T766 Phase Change Material**. This is superior to standard thermal grease because it thins out at operating temperatures to fill microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the chip. * **Flow Pattern:** It features a **Fine Pitch** design, which is ideal for systems with high-velocity airflow where maximum surface area is required to dissipate heat quickly. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases The ATS-15D-154-C2-R0 is typically found in: 1. **Telecommunications:** High-speed routers and switches. 2. **Industrial PCs:** Compact motherboards where vertical space is available but horizontal space is limited. 3. **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or power regulators. ---
