The **ATS-52150P-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink component manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "superGRIP" series, designed specifically for thermal management of electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of this specific part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-52150P-C2-R0 | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 15.00mm x 15.00mm x 17.50mm | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Resistance** | 6.70°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Attachment Method** | superGRIP™ Clip (Plastic) | --- ### 2. Key Design Components #### A. Fin Geometry The "Straight Fin" design is optimized for high-velocity airflow environments. By maximizing surface area while minimizing air pressure drop, it efficiently dissipates heat from the silicon die into the surrounding air. #### B. superGRIP™ Attachment Unlike traditional heat sinks that require holes in the PCB, the **ATS-52150P-C2-R0** uses a specialized mechanical attachment: * **Frame Clip:** A plastic frame that snaps around the electronic component. * **Spring Clip:** A stainless steel clip that provides high constant pressure to ensure a tight thermal interface between the heat sink and the chip. * **Benefit:** This prevents "walking" or shifting of the heat sink during vibration or shipping. #### C. Material & Coating * **Aluminum:** Chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity-to-weight ratio. * **Blue Anodizing:** This is not just aesthetic; anodizing increases the emissivity of the surface, slightly improving heat dissipation through radiation. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This part is typically used in density-constrained electronic environments, such as: 1. **Networking Hardware:** Routers, switches, and high-speed modems. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and controllers. 3. **Telecommunications:** Optical modules and base stations. 4. **BGA Components:** Specifically designed for Ball Grid Array (BGA) chips that generate significant heat in a small footprint (15mm x 15mm). ---
