### Technical Overview: ATS-15F-84-C2-R0 The **ATS-15F-84-C2-R0** is a high-performance **heat sink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "push pin" series designed for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, and high-power integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum (with Blue Anodized Finish) | | **Attachment Method** | Push Pin (Plastic/Brass) | | **Heat Sink Type** | Straight Fin | | **Dimensions** | 30.00mm x 30.00mm x 25.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 6.74°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Compatibility** | Pre-drilled for 38mm hole spacing | | **Thermal Interface** | Pre-applied T766 Phase Change Material | --- ### 2. Functional Components #### A. The Fin Geometry The device uses a **Straight Fin** design. This allows for excellent airflow in a single direction, making it ideal for systems with high-velocity internal fans. The 25mm height provides a significant surface area for heat dissipation relative to its small 30x30mm footprint. #### B. Attachment Mechanism (Push Pins) Instead of adhesive tapes, this model uses a mechanical **Push Pin** system with a compression spring. * **Benefits:** Ensures consistent pressure on the component, improving thermal contact. * **Reliability:** Unlike tape, mechanical fasteners do not degrade over time due to heat cycles. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The base comes pre-coated with **T766**. This is a "Phase Change" material that softens when the component heats up, filling microscopic air gaps between the chip and the aluminum for maximum heat transfer. --- ### 3. Performance Metrics Thermal performance varies based on the Airflow (Linear Feet per Minute - LFM). | Airflow (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | **100 (Static)** | 9.00 | | **200** | 6.74 | | **400** | 5.24 | | **600** | 4.60 | --- ### 4. Summary for Engineers The "84" in the part number indicates the specific fin density and height configuration, while the "C2" suffix typically denotes the **Blue Anodized** finish, which provides corrosion resistance and increased emissivity for radiative cooling.
