The **ATS-01B-183-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the **pushPIN™** series, designed specifically to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or power transistors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the physical and thermal properties of this component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance (Flowing)** | 5.37 °C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Thermal Resistance (Static)** | 2.85 °C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40.00mm x 40.00mm x 20.00mm | | **Pitch / Pattern** | Fine Pitch / Cross-Cut | --- ### 2. Design Features The "C2" and "R0" designations in the part number refer to specific material and environmental compliance standards. * **Cross-Cut Fin Design:** The fins are cut both horizontally and vertically. This increases surface area and allows air to flow through the sink from multiple directions, which is ideal for systems with complex airflow patterns. * **pushPIN™ Attachment:** Instead of messy adhesives, this part uses a plastic or brass pin with a stainless steel spring. This provides a consistent, high-pressure contact between the heat sink and the component, optimizing heat transfer. * **Pre-Applied Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes with a pre-applied thermal pad or grease, simplifying the assembly process in a manufacturing environment. --- ### 3. Part Number Breakdown Understanding the nomenclature helps in selecting alternatives or similar parts: * **ATS**: Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **01**: Series type. * **B**: Attachment style (Push Pin). * **183**: Specific footprint/size code. * **C2**: Performance/Material grade (usually indicates Al6063 with Blue Anodized finish). * **R0**: RoHS compliance (Lead-free). --- ### 4. Thermal Performance Data Performance varies based on the Air Velocity (Measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): ```markdown Air Velocity | Thermal Resistance (Unducted) ------------------------------------------- 100 LFM | 5.37 °C/W 200 LFM | 2.85 °C/W 300 LFM | 2.11 °C/W 400 LFM | 1.72 °C/W ``` ---
