The **ATS-17B-24-C2-R0** is a specific electronic cooling component, categorized as a high-performance **Heat Sink**. It is manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)* as part of their "push-pin" series designed for cooling integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronic chips. --- ## Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Brass) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 5.88 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 60.00 mm x 60.00 mm | | **Height (Height Off Base)** | 20.00 mm | --- ## Key Design Components ### 1. Fin Profile (Straight Fin) The "17B" designation refers to the specific fin pattern. These are **straight fins**, which are ideal for high-velocity airflow environments where air can be forced through the channels to dissipate heat efficiently. ### 2. Push-Pin Attachment Instead of using messy thermal adhesives or tapes, this model uses a **mechanical push-pin system**. * **Springs:** Pre-assembled with a high-performance compression spring. * **Reliability:** Provides consistent pressure across the chip surface, improving thermal transfer. ### 3. Material and Coating * **Aluminum 6063:** Chosen for its high thermal conductivity and lightweight properties. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** This is not just for aesthetics; the anodization layer provides corrosion resistance and slightly improves thermal emissivity. ### 4. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C2" suffix typically indicates that the heat sink comes pre-applied with **ATS-PPS-2** thermal grease or a similar high-performance phase-change material to ensure no air gaps exist between the chip and the heat sink. --- ## Performance Metrics Thermal resistance is measured in **°C/W** (Degrees Celsius per Watt). A lower number means better cooling performance. * **Unducted Flow:** 5.88 °C/W @ 100 LFM (Linear Feet per Minute). * **Ducted Flow:** 1.33 °C/W @ 100 LFM. ---
