The **ATS-17D-210-C2-R0** is a high-performance **Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. It belongs to the **pushPIN™** line, designed for efficient thermal management of electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, and other high-heat integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number encodes specific physical and thermal characteristics: | Property | Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 70 mm x 70 mm | | **Height** | 12.7 mm | | **Attachment Type** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 5.18 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Features #### A. Thermal Management (Efficiency) The primary role of this part is to dissipate heat. With a low profile of 12.7mm, it is designed for environments where vertical space is limited. The **Fine Pitch** fin design maximizes surface area to facilitate heat transfer from the electronic component to the ambient air. #### B. PushPIN™ Attachment System Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, this uses a mechanical push-pin system. This is crucial for: * **Constant Pressure:** Ensuring the heat sink remains in firm contact with the die for optimal thermal conductivity. * **Reliability:** Mechanical pins prevent the heat sink from shifting or falling off due to vibration or high temperatures. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (T766) The part comes pre-applied with **T766 thermal grease**. This "gap filler" replaces air pockets between the heat sink and the electronic chip, significantly lowering the contact resistance. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases * **High-Density Servers:** Used on motherboards where components are packed closely together. * **Network Switches:** Cooling ASICs and FPGA chips. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs that require passive or active cooling in a small footprint. --- ### 4.
