The **ATS-17D-47-C2-R0** is a high-performance 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. --- ### Technical Specifications The following table outlines the key physical and thermal characteristics of this part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Heat Sink Type** | Top Mount / Cross-cut | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 25mm x 25mm x 30mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.69°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Thermal Interface Material** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### Key Electronic Components & Design Features #### 1. Push-Pin Attachment Mechanism Instead of using messy adhesives or complex clips, this part uses a **brass push-pin** with a **stainless steel spring**. This provides: * **Constant Pressure:** Ensures the heat sink maintains firm contact with the electronic chip for optimal heat transfer. * **Secure Mounting:** Prevents the heat sink from shifting during vibration or shipping. #### 2. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C2" in the part number indicates the use of **T766 thermal grease**. * This is a high-performance material pre-applied to the base. * It fills microscopic air gaps between the chip surface and the heat sink base, significantly reducing thermal resistance. #### 3. Fin Design (Cross-Cut) The heat sink features a **cross-cut fin pattern**, which is critical for electronic enclosures with multi-directional airflow. Unlike straight-fin heat sinks that require air to blow in one specific direction, cross-cut fins allow air to enter from various angles, increasing turbulence and cooling efficiency. #### 4. Material and Finish * **Aluminum Body:** Chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity and lightweight properties. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** This is not just for aesthetics; the anodization process increases surface emissivity and provides corrosion resistance for the aluminum. --- ### Common Applications * **Embedded Systems:** Cooling small form-factor processors. * **Telecommunications:** Dissipating heat from high-speed networking chips. * **Power Supplies:** Managing the thermal load of voltage regulators.
