The **ATS-15F-55-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. It belongs to the **maxiFLOW™** series, designed for cooling high-power semiconductors and electronic components. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 4.77°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 45.00mm x 40.00mm | | **Height** | 10.00mm | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Brass Pins) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring (Stainless Steel) | | **TIM (Thermal Interface Material)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ## 2. Key Design Elements ### A. maxiFLOW™ Geometry The unique "flared fin" design increases the surface area for heat dissipation while maintaining a low pressure drop. This geometry is optimized for forced-air cooling environments. ### B. pushPIN™ Attachment System This part features a standardized mounting system designed to ensure secure attachment to the PCB. * **Brass Pins:** Provide a reliable mechanical connection. * **Compression Springs:** Apply a specific amount of force (calculated to optimize heat transfer) without damaging the component or the PCB. ### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part comes with **T766** pre-applied to the base. This is a high-performance phase-change material or grease that fills microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the component (CPU/GPU/ASIC), significantly reducing thermal impedance. --- ## 3. Applications and Usage This heat sink is typically used in space-constrained electronic systems where high-reliability cooling is required: * **Telecommunications:** Network switches and routers. * **Industrial:** Embedded computing boards. * **Power Electronics:** Voltage regulators and high-speed processors. ---
