The **ATS-17D-41-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heatsink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors. ### 1. Key Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. | | **Series** | pushPIN™ HS | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-pin (Plastic/Brass) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45.00mm x 45.00mm x 20.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 10.03 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | --- ### 2. Design and Component Breakdown #### A. Fin Geometry (Cross-Cut) The "D" in the part number indicates a **Cross-Cut** fin pattern. Unlike straight fins, cross-cut fins allow for multi-directional airflow. This makes it more efficient in systems where the direction of the cooling fan's exhaust might be turbulent or non-linear. #### B. Attachment Mechanism (pushPIN™) The part features a specialized push-pin system designed for secure PCB mounting. * **Compression Spring:** Ensures consistent pressure (clamped load) between the heatsink and the component to minimize thermal interface resistance. * **Plastic/Brass Pins:** Allow for quick and reliable installation without the need for complex mounting brackets. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The **"C2"** code in the part number typically signifies the pre-applied thermal material. * **T766 Phase Change Material:** This is usually applied to the base of the heatsink to bridge the microscopic air gaps between the heatsink and the chip, ensuring maximum heat transfer. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance (Airflow) The efficiency of this part depends heavily on the velocity of air (Measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM) passing through the fins: | Air Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 (0.5 m/s) | 10.03 | | 300 (1.5 m/s) | 3.65 | | 500 (2.5 m/s) | 2.37 | | 700 (3.5 m/s) | 1.85 | --- ### 4.
