Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Heat Sink Type** | Straight Fin | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Spring Loaded) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 45mm x 45mm | | **Height** | 30mm | | **Fin Pitch** | Fine Pitch | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Resistance** | 6.67 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | --- ### 2. Key Component Features * **Attachment Mechanism:** It uses a "Push-Pin" assembly. This consists of a plastic pin and a high-performance compression spring. This ensures a precise, repeatable pressure on the electronic component for optimal heat transfer. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** The part comes pre-applied with **T766**, a high-performance thermal grease, which fills microscopic air gaps between the component and the heat sink. * **Fin Geometry:** The "Straight Fin" design is optimized for high-density electronic boards where airflow is predictable. * **Material Properties:** Made from Aluminum 6063, which offers a good balance between thermal conductivity and mechanical strength. --- ### 3. Part Number Breakdown (Nomenclature) The part number identifies specific characteristics: | Code | Meaning | | :--- | :--- | | **ATS** | Advanced Thermal Solutions | | **18D** | Series / Product Family | | **71** | Size/Configuration Identifier | | **C2** | Thermal Performance Level | | **R0** | RoHS Compliant / Revision Status | --- ### 4. Thermal Performance Data Thermal resistance (the ability to dissipate heat) varies based on the airflow velocity (LFM - Linear Feet per Minute): * **@ 100 LFM (0.5 m/s):** 6.67 °C/W * **@ 300 LFM (1.5 m/s):** 2.22 °C/W * **@ 500 LFM (2.5 m/s):** 1.45 °C/W
