The **ATS-15F-27-C2-R0** is a specific electronic component manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is a high-performance heat sink designed for thermal management in electronic assemblies. --- ## Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-15F-27-C2-R0 | | **Heat Sink Type** | pushPIN™ Heat Sink Assembly | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Fin Style** | Straight (Flat Fin) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Dimension (L x W)** | 70.00 mm x 70.00 mm | | **Height (Off Base)** | 12.70 mm | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ## Component Breakdown ### 1. The pushPIN™ Attachment System The "pushPIN" system is designed to allow for tool-free assembly. It features a flexible spring-loaded mechanism that provides consistent pressure across the component surface, ensuring optimal heat transfer. ### 2. Thermal Performance The efficiency of this heat sink is measured by its **Thermal Resistance**, which determines how effectively it moves heat away from the chip into the ambient air. * **High Airflow:** Under high-speed fan conditions, the thermal resistance is significantly lower. * **Low Airflow:** In passive or low-flow environments, the 12.7mm height provides a larger surface area than standard low-profile sinks. ### 3. Material and Coating * **Aluminum Construction:** Offers a balance between lightweight design and high thermal conductivity. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** Not only provides a professional aesthetic but also adds a layer of corrosion resistance and slightly improves radiative heat transfer. ### 4. T766 Thermal Interface Material (TIM) This part comes with **T766** pre-applied to the base. This eliminates the need for manual thermal paste application, reducing assembly time and ensuring a uniform layer between the heat sink and the electronic component (CPU, GPU, or FPGA). --- ## Typical Applications This specific size and mounting style are commonly found in: * **Telecommunications:** Cooling for high-speed processors in routers and switches. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where vertical space is limited to roughly 13mm. * **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from large voltage regulators or MOSFET arrays.
