The **ATS-17F-24-C2-R0** is a specific electronic component belonging to the **Thermal Management** category. It is a high-performance heat sink designed by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). --- ## 1. Technical Specifications This part is engineered for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or power modules. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Attachment Type** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 25mm x 25mm x 25mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.11 °C/W (@ 100 LFM) | | **Fin Pattern** | Fine Pitch (High Performance) | | **Base Shape** | Square | --- ## 2. Key Components & Materials The ATS-17F-24-C2-R0 is more than just a piece of metal; it is a thermal system consisting of several parts: ### A. The Heat Sink Body * **Material:** 6063 Aluminum, which provides a balance between thermal conductivity and durability. * **Finish:** Blue Anodized. This thin oxide layer prevents corrosion and slightly improves heat dissipation through radiation. ### B. The Attachment Mechanism (Push-Pin) * Instead of using thermal adhesive, this model uses **Push-Pins**. * **Springs:** Usually made of stainless steel to provide constant downward pressure (compression), ensuring maximum contact between the chip and the heat sink. * **Pin Material:** High-grade plastic or brass (depending on the specific revision). ### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) * This specific part number typically comes with **Pre-applied Thermal Interface Material** on the base. * This fills the microscopic air gaps between the component and the heat sink to facilitate efficient heat transfer. --- ## 3. Thermal Performance Profile The effectiveness of this part depends heavily on the airflow (measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM). | Airflow (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 (0.5 m/s) | 3.11 | | 200 (1.0 m/s) | 1.98 | | 400 (2.0 m/s) | 1.51 | | 600 (3.0 m/s) | 1.30 | --- ## 4. Part Number Breakdown The nomenclature follows a specific logic: 1. **ATS:** Advanced Thermal Solutions (Brand). 2. **17F:** Series and Fin profile. 3. **24:** Physical dimensions/configuration code. 4. **C2:** Material/Finish code (Blue Anodized). 5. **R0:** Revision or RoHS compliance status.
