The **ATS-17D-49-C2-R0** is a specific electronic cooling component, specifically a **high-performance heat sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is part of the "push pin" attachment series designed for cooling integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronic components. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of this part: | Characteristic | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions** | 25mm x 25mm x 20mm | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Brass) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | | **Thermal Resistance** | 5.48°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Design and Engineering Features The "49" series within the ATS catalog typically refers to a **straight-fin** or **cross-cut** design optimized for specific airflow directions. * **Heat Sink Material:** Made of aluminum, which provides a balance between weight, cost, and thermal conductivity. The blue anodized finish increases surface emissivity and provides corrosion resistance. * **Push-Pin Attachment:** The `-R0` designation indicates the assembly includes a specific push-pin and spring kit. This provides consistent pressure on the processor, which optimizes the contact with the Thermal Interface Material (TIM). * **Thermal Interface Material (T766):** This part comes with a pre-applied phase-change material or high-performance pad. This eliminates the need for manual thermal paste application and ensures a reliable thermal bond. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific heat sink size (25mm x 25mm) is commonly used for: * **Small Form Factor (SFF) Electronics:** Routers, switches, and embedded systems. * **Integrated Circuits:** Cooling BGA (Ball Grid Array) packages, FPGAs, or Microprocessors. * **Industrial Controls:** Power components that require active or passive air cooling within a cabinet. --- ### 4.
