The part number **ATS-15D-19-C2-R0** refers to a high-performance **Heat Sink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of their "push pin" series designed for efficient cooling of electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs. ### Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push Pin (with Springs) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 9.77°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 54.00mm x 54.00mm x 20.00mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Interface Material** | T766 (Thermal Interface Material pre-applied) | --- ### Component Breakdown #### 1. Thermal Management (The Fin Design) The "Straight Fin" design is optimized for high-velocity airflows. It provides a large surface area for heat dissipation while maintaining a relatively low profile (20mm). #### 2. Attachment Mechanism: pushPIN™ Instead of using messy thermal adhesives or unreliable clips, this unit uses a **Push Pin and Brass Spring** system. * **Benefits:** Ensures constant, even pressure on the chip for maximum heat transfer. * **Hardware:** The "R0" suffix typically indicates the specific spring and pin hardware kit included with the unit. #### 3. Material and Coating * **Aluminum:** Chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity and lightweight properties. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** This is not just for aesthetics; the anodized layer provides electrical insulation and improves corrosion resistance. #### 4. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The device comes with **T766** pre-applied to the base. This is a high-performance phase-change material that fills microscopic air gaps between the component and the heat sink, significantly lowering thermal resistance. --- ### Part Number Decoder | Segment | Meaning | | :--- | :--- | | **ATS** | Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions) | | **15D** | Series / Internal SKU | | **19** | Specific Product Identifier | | **C2** | Color/Finish (Blue Anodized) | | **R0** | Revision / Packaging Code |
