The **ATS-17E-151-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It belongs to the **pushPIN™** series, designed for secure and efficient cooling of electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power chipsets. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of this specific part: | Characteristic | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Dimensions (LxWxH)** | 35.00mm x 35.00mm x 30.00mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight | | **Fin Pitch** | Coarse-Pitch | | **Mounting Type** | Push-Pin (Brass) | | **Spring Type** | ATS-PPS-17 (Stainless Steel) | | **Thermal Interface (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ## 2. Component Analysis ### A. Thermal Performance The "C2" in the part number indicates the material/finish—typically **Blue Anodized** aluminum. This finish not only prevents corrosion but slightly improves emissivity for better heat radiation. * **Thermal Resistance:** It is designed to lower the temperature of integrated circuits by conducting heat away from the die and dissipating it into the surrounding air via its 30mm tall fins. ### B. Mounting Mechanism (pushPIN™) This part utilizes a specialized push-pin system rather than adhesive or standard screws: 1. **Spring-Loaded:** Provides consistent pressure (clamping force) across the component to ensure maximum contact with the heat source. 2. **Ease of Assembly:** Features pre-drilled holes requirements (standardized at 40mm spacing for this model) allowing for quick manual or automated installation. ### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The unit comes with **T766** pre-applied to the base. This is a high-quality thermal grease or pad that fills microscopic air gaps between the chip surface and the heat sink base, significantly reducing thermal resistance. --- ## 3.
