The **ATS-P1-154-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is part of the "pushPIN™" series, designed for efficient cooling of semiconductor devices like CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications The part number encodes specific physical and thermal characteristics: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 7.51°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40mm x 40mm x 15mm | | **Fin Pattern** | Straight Fin (High density) | --- ### 2. Functional Electronic Components The "part" itself is a passive mechanical component, but it integrates several features essential for electronic assemblies: * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes with a pre-applied **T766** high-performance thermal phase-change material. This ensures minimal air gaps between the chip and the heat sink. * **Compression Springs:** It utilizes a brass or stainless steel spring mechanism to provide precise pressure on the electronic package, ensuring consistent thermal contact without damaging delicate PCB traces. * **pushPIN™ Fasteners:** These are plastic or metal pins that snap into pre-drilled holes in the PCB, providing a secure mount that is vibration-resistant. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Profile The effectiveness of this part depends on the airflow (LFM - Linear Feet per Minute) within the electronic enclosure: | Airflow Velocity | Thermal Resistance (Unducted) | | :--- | :--- | | **100 LFM (0.5 m/s)** | 7.51 °C/W | | **300 LFM (1.5 m/s)** | 3.43 °C/W | | **500 LFM (2.5 m/s)** | 2.63 °C/W | | **700 LFM (3.5 m/s)** | 2.22 °C/W | --- ### 4. Applications The ATS-P1-154-C2-R0 is commonly used in: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling of high-speed networking switches. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where vertical space is limited (15mm height). 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from MOSFETs or power regulators.
