The **ATS-18D-01-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heatsink** designed by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It belongs to the **pushPIN™** series, which is engineered for secure and efficient cooling of electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and power modules. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal properties of this specific part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum (High Performance) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40mm x 40mm x 10mm | | **Attachment Type** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 21.90 °C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Design Characteristics The part is characterized by several key engineering features: * **Finned Profile:** It utilizes a **Straight-Fin** design. This is optimized for systems where the airflow direction is predictable and constant. * **Push-Pin Attachment:** Instead of messy adhesives or clips, it uses a mechanical push-pin system with a compression spring. This ensures: * Consistent pressure across the component surface. * Easier installation and removal for maintenance. * **Low Profile:** At only 10mm height, it is ideal for thin-client devices, 1U servers, or space-constrained PCB enclosures. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Metrics Thermal resistance (measured in °C/W) varies based on the velocity of the air moving through the fins (LFM - Linear Feet per Minute): | Air Velocity (LFM) | 100 (0.5 m/s) | 300 (1.5 m/s) | 500 (2.5 m/s) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Thermal Resistance (°C/W)** | 21.90 | 5.80 | 3.50 | --- ### 4. Part Number Decoder The part number **ATS-18D-01-C2-R0** can be broken down as follows: * **ATS**: Advanced Thermal Solutions. * **18D**: Series identifier (specific fin geometry/style). * **01**: Size/Height configuration. * **C2**: Color/Finish (Blue Anodized) and Material (Aluminum). * **R0**: Revision or specific packaging version. ---
