The **ATS-01F-14-C2-R0** is a specific part number for a **high-performance heat sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or power transistors. ### Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Spring Loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 10.00°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions** | 50mm x 50mm x 25mm | --- ### Key Design Elements #### 1. Heat Sink Profile (Geometry) The "14" in the part number refers to the **straight-fin** or **cross-cut** design family within the ATS catalog. This specific model features a high-density fin structure to maximize surface area for air convection. #### 2. Push-Pin Attachment Mechanism Instead of using messy thermal adhesives or complex screws, this part uses the **pushPIN™** system: * **Ease of Install:** Uses a flexible attachment tool to snap into pre-drilled holes on the PCB. * **Consistent Pressure:** Features a brass or plastic push-pin with a stainless steel spring to ensure even pressure across the thermal interface material (TIM). #### 3. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The **C2** designation indicates that the heat sink comes pre-applied with **T766 Phase Change Material**. This simplifies the assembly process and ensures optimal thermal conductivity between the component and the heat sink. #### 4. Material and Coating * **Aluminum:** Chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity and lightweight properties. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** The "R0" suffix indicates the finish. Anodizing protects the aluminum from corrosion and slightly improves radiant heat transfer. --- ### Application Usage This part is typically found in: * **Network Switches/Routers:** For cooling ASICs. * **Industrial Power Supplies:** For cooling MOSFETs or IGBTs. * **Embedded Systems:** High-performance computing boards where vertical space allows for a 25mm height.
