The **ATS-15F-29-C3-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). --- ### 1. Technical Specifications This part belongs to the **pushPIN™** series, designed for secure and efficient cooling of electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Type** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 20mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Thermal Resistance** | 7.66 °C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T412 (High Performance) | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number The alphanumeric code follows a specific naming convention used by Advanced Thermal Solutions: * **ATS**: Prefix for Advanced Thermal Solutions. * **15F**: Refers to the specific series and mounting hardware. * **29**: Designates the specific fin pattern and size configuration. * **C3**: Indicates the material/finish (Aluminum with Blue Anodization). * **R0**: Revision or specific packaging code. --- ### 3. Key Electronic Functions The purpose of this component is to prevent "Thermal Throttling" or hardware failure in electronic circuits: * **Heat Dissipation:** It increases the surface area of the heat-generating component (the IC), allowing air to carry heat away more effectively. * **Spring-Loaded Attachment:** The pushPIN™ mechanism ensures constant, even pressure across the chip surface, which is critical for maximizing the effectiveness of the Thermal Interface Material (TIM). * **Airflow Optimization:** The straight fin design is optimized for environments where there is a consistent direction of airflow (ducted or unducted). --- ### 4.
