The **ATS-17B-94-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or power transistors to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The part number provides specific details about its dimensions, material, and thermal performance. | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Attachment Type** | Push Pin (Spring-loaded) | | **Heat Sink Type** | Straight Fin | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Resistance** | 1.62 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40.00mm x 40.00mm x 25.00mm | --- ## 2. Key Design Features ### Thermal Performance The "C2" in the part number indicates a specific thermal interface material (TIM) or performance grade. This model is optimized for high airflow environments. * **Straight Fin Geometry:** Provides a low pressure drop, making it efficient for systems with a standard cooling fan. * **Aluminum Construction:** Offers a lightweight solution with high thermal conductivity. ### Attachment Mechanism (pushPIN™) Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, the ATS-17B-94-C2-R0 uses a mechanical attachment system: * **Push Pins:** Durable brass or plastic pins that snap into pre-drilled holes on the PCB. * **Compression Springs:** Provides precise pressure (load) on the component to ensure maximum contact with the thermal interface material. --- ## 3. Applications This specific heat sink is commonly found in: 1. **Telecommunications:** Networking switches and routers. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and automation controllers. 3. **Power Electronics:** Voltage regulators and motor drivers. --- ## 4.
