The **ATS-18B-02-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heatsink** designed by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is part of the "push pin" series, engineered for securing thermal solutions to Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) efficiently. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push Pin (Plastic) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 24.03°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions** | 40mm x 40mm x 15mm | | **Fin Style** | Fine Pitch (straight fins) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | --- ### 2. Component Breakdown The assembly consists of three primary electronic packaging elements: * **Heat Sink Body:** A square aluminum block with a 15mm height. The blue anodized finish provides both aesthetic value and improved surface emissivity for better radiation cooling. * **Push Pin Mechanism:** This part uses a pre-drilled hole in the PCB. The pins are spring-loaded to provide consistent pressure (Normal Force) between the heatsink and the electronic component (CPU, GPU, or ASIC). * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This model typically comes with a pre-applied phase-change material or thermal tape to ensure there are no air gaps between the heatsink and the chip. --- ### 3. Application and Usage This part is commonly used in the following electronic environments: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling of high-speed networking chips. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Maintaining safe operating temperatures for microprocessors. 3. **Power Electronics:** Managing heat for voltage regulators or power converters. --- ### 4. Mounting Hole Configuration To integrate this into a PCB design, the following layout is required: ```text Dimension A: 40.00 mm Dimension B: 40.00 mm Dimension C: 15.00 mm Pitch E: 33.00 mm (Distance between pins) Pitch F: 33.00 mm (Distance between pins) ```
