The **ATS-15D-90-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is part of the "pushPIN™" series, designed for efficient cooling of semiconductor devices like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number contains specific encoded data regarding its dimensions, material, and thermal performance. | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Base Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Spring Loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance (Unducted)** | 6.36 °C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 35.00mm x 35.00mm x 35.00mm | --- ### 2. Physical Design Features * **Fin Pattern (Straight Fin):** This model uses a vertical fin array. It is optimized for high-performance cooling where airflow direction is predictable. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** The part typically comes pre-applied with **T766** thermal phase change material, which ensures maximum heat transfer from the electronic component to the aluminum base. * **Push-Pin Attachment:** Instead of messy adhesives or difficult clips, it uses a brass push-pin with a stainless steel spring. This provides: * Consistent pressure for better thermal contact. * Easy installation and removal for maintenance. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Data Performance varies based on the Air Velocity (Measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Air Velocity | 100 LFM (0.5 m/s) | 300 LFM (1.5 m/s) | 500 LFM (2.5 m/s) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Thermal Resistance (Unducted)** | 6.36 °C/W | 2.02 °C/W | 1.15 °C/W | | **Thermal Resistance (Ducted)** | 1.60 °C/W | 1.05 °C/W | 0.84 °C/W | --- ### 4. Code Breakdown The part number **ATS-15D-90-C2-R0** can be decoded as follows: * **ATS:** Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **15:** Number of fins or specific series identifier. * **D:** Heat sink height/dimension category. * **90:** Specific fin pitch/style code. * **C2:** Material/Finish indicator (Blue Anodized Aluminum). * **R0:** Revision or packaging code. ---
