The **ATS-18F-33-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 integrated circuits (ICs) to prevent overheating. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number provides specific information about the dimensions, thermal resistance, and material properties. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Heat Sink Type** | Push-pin Heat Sink | | **Base Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance (Unducted)** | 17.42 °C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Thermal Resistance (Ducted)** | 2.65 °C/W @ 100 LFM | --- ### 2. Physical Dimensions Precision sizing is critical for ensuring the heatsink fits within the constraints of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). | Dimension | Value | | :--- | :--- | | **Length (A)** | 35.00 mm | | **Width (B)** | 35.00 mm | | **Height (C)** | 20.00 mm | | **Pitch (E)** | 40.00 mm | | **Pitch (F)** | 40.00 mm | --- ### 3. Key Electronic Components & Features * **Push-Pin Mounting:** Unlike adhesive-based heatsinks, this uses a push-pin mechanism. This provides consistent pressure for better thermal interface material (TIM) performance and allows for easy removal/rework. * **High-Performance Fin Design:** The "F" in the part number usually refers to a specific fin pattern (Cross-cut or straight) optimized for airflow. * **C2 Thermal Interface:** The "C2" suffix typically indicates that the heatsink comes pre-applied with a **Phase Change Material (PCM)** or high-performance thermal grease to bridge the microscopic air gaps between the component and the heatsink. * **Blue Anodized Coating:** This is not just for aesthetics; the anodization increases the surface area at a microscopic level and protects the aluminum from corrosion. --- ### 4. Application Use Cases This heatsink is commonly found in: 1. **Networking Hardware:** Routers, switches, and gateways. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and controllers. 3. **Power Electronics:** Voltage regulators and high-speed processors.
