The **ATS-15F-119-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "push-pin" series designed for efficient cooling of electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other integrated circuits. ### 1. Key Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of this component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (Al) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 20mm | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Brass) | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T412 (Pre-applied) | | **Flow Direction** | XC (Cross-cut) / Omnidirectional | | **Thermal Resistance** | 4.68°C/W (@ 200 LFM) | --- ### 2. Design and Engineering Features * **XC (Cross-Cut) Fin Design:** The "XC" designation means the fins are cut in both horizontal and vertical directions. This creates an array of rectangular pins rather than long continuous fins. This design is highly effective for systems where air may flow from multiple directions or where airflow is turbulent. * **Push-Pin Attachment:** It uses a spring-loaded brass push-pin mechanism. This ensures consistent pressure between the heat sink and the component, optimizing thermal transfer and providing secure mechanical mounting even in high-vibration environments. * **T412 Thermal Interface:** The unit comes pre-applied with T412 thermal tape. This eliminates the need for manual application of thermal paste, ensuring a reliable bond and reducing assembly time in manufacturing. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Profile Thermal performance is measured by thermal resistance (°C/W). The lower the number, the more efficient the heat sink is at dissipating heat. | Air Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 1.0 m/s (200 LFM) | 4.68 | | 2.0 m/s (400 LFM) | 2.85 | | 3.0 m/s (600 LFM) | 2.16 | --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown The part number **ATS-15F-119-C2-R0** can be decoded as follows: * **ATS:** Advanced Thermal Solutions (Manufacturer). * **15F:** Series/Family (Push-pin type). * **119:** Specific profile/fin configuration. * **C2:** Material/Color code (Aluminum, Blue Anodized). * **R0:** Revision or packaging standard.
