Key Technical Specifications The following table outlines the core physical and thermal properties of this part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-18B-63-C2-R0 | | **Material** | Aluminum (Black Anodized) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Brass Pins) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.85°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45.00mm x 40.00mm x 20.00mm | | **Thermal Interface Material** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Design Features * **maxiFLOW™ Fin Geometry:** The heat sink features a high-density fin pattern that increases the surface area for heat dissipation while maintaining low pressure drop for airflow. * **pushPIN™ Attachment:** This model uses a spring-loaded push-pin mechanism. This ensures consistent pressure against the electronic component for optimal heat transfer and simplifies the assembly process on the PCB. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** It comes with **T766** pre-applied. This is a high-performance phase-change material that fills microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the component, significantly reducing thermal impedance. * **Material and Finish:** Made from extruded aluminum with a black anodized finish, which not only provides corrosion resistance but also improves radiant heat dissipation. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific heat sink is typically used in the following electronic environments: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling network switches and routers. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and automation controllers. 3. **Power Electronics:** Cooling MOSFETs or IGBT modules. 4. **High-Speed Computing:** Thermal management for localized chipsets on server motherboards. ---
