Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of this part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. | | **Product Type** | Heat Sink | | **Mounting Type** | pushPIN™ | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 70.00mm x 70.00mm x 12.70mm | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Plastic pushPIN™ with Brass Springs | | **Thermal Resistance** | 12.24°C/W (Unducted @ 100 LFM) | --- ## 2. Key Features and Design The ATS-18D-27-C2-R0 belongs to the **pushPIN™** series, which focuses on ease of assembly and high thermal efficiency. ### Heat Sink Geometry * **Straight Fin Design:** The fins are arranged in a straight pattern to allow for maximum airflow through the sink, which is ideal for systems with clear ducting or high-velocity fans. * **Low Profile:** With a height of only 12.70mm, this is considered a low-profile heat sink, suitable for 1U servers or slim electronic enclosures. ### Attachment System (pushPIN™) * **Mechanical Integrity:** Uses a spring-loaded push-pin system. This provides consistent pressure across the interface between the heat sink and the component, ensuring optimal heat transfer. * **No Tools Required:** The plastic pins are designed for quick installation without the need for specialized tools. * **Hole Pattern:** Specifically designed for a pre-drilled PCB pattern (usually 63mm pitch for this size). --- ## 3. Thermal Performance Data Thermal resistance indicates how effectively the part dissipates heat. Lower numbers represent better cooling. * **@ 100 LFM (0.5 m/s):** 12.24 °C/W * **@ 300 LFM (1.5 m/s):** 2.49 °C/W * **@ 500 LFM (2.5 m/s):** 1.63 °C/W *Note: The performance improves significantly as the airflow (Linear Feet per Minute) increases.* --- ## 4. Part Number Breakdown Understanding the suffix codes: * **-27:** Refers to the specific fin design and size category. * **-C2:** Indicates the material and finish (Aluminum / Blue Anodized). * **-R0:** Indicates the revision or specific packaging style.
