The **ATS-14F-142-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "Blue Ice" series, specifically designed for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, and other integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature used by ATS to define the dimensions, fin style, and material. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ Heat Sink | | **Base Dimensions** | 30.00mm x 30.00mm | | **Height** | 15.00mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Plastic/Brass Pins) | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 10.07 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Color/Finish** | Blue Anodized | --- ### 2. Physical Design and Components This heat sink is engineered to optimize heat dissipation in confined spaces. * **Fin Geometry:** It features a straight-fin design, which is ideal for systems where airflow is directed linearly across the heat sink. * **Push-Pin Attachment:** The `14F` designation indicates the specific hole pattern and push-pin mechanism. This allows for a secure, tool-free installation that provides consistent pressure on the electronic component. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes pre-applied with **T766** thermal phase change material, ensuring efficient heat transfer from the chip to the aluminum base. --- ### 3. Application & Performance The **C2** in the part number indicates a specific performance profile and material grade (Blue Anodized Aluminum). * **High Efficiency:** It is designed for components requiring medium-level cooling in airflow-rich environments (like servers or telecommunications equipment). * **Thermal Performance:** * **Unducted Flow:** 10.07 °C/W at 100 LFM (Linear Feet per Minute). * **Ducted Flow:** 3.17 °C/W at 100 LFM. * **Environmental Compliance:** It is fully **RoHS** (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and **REACH** compliant. --- ### 4.
