The **ATS-P2-153-C1-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **heat sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors. ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of the part: | Characteristic | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Anodized Blue) | | **Dimensions** | 40.00mm x 40.00mm x 10.00mm | | **Fin Style** | Push-Pin (Straight Fins) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 11.93°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin with Springs | | **Interface Material** | T766 (Thermal Interface Material pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Components & Design Features #### A. Fin Geometry (Straight Fin) The "Straight Fin" design is optimized for environments where there is a consistent, directional airflow. The gaps between the aluminum fins allow air to pass through, carrying heat away from the baseplate through convection. #### B. Attachment Mechanism: Push-Pin The **R0** suffix indicates a specific attachment method: * **Push-Pins:** These are plastic or metal pins that snap into pre-drilled holes on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). * **Compression Springs:** The pins include springs that provide precise, uniform pressure (clamping force) on the electronic component. This ensures maximum contact between the chip and the heat sink. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) This model comes with **T766** pre-applied to the base. The TIM fills microscopic air gaps between the electronic component's surface and the heat sink base, significantly reducing thermal resistance. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific heat sink is commonly used in the following electronic assemblies: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling of networking chips in routers and switches. 2. **Embedded Systems:** High-heat microcontrollers or SoCs (System on Chips). 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from VRMs (Voltage Regulator Modules) or power MOSFETs. --- ### 4. Thermal Performance Comparison Thermal performance varies based on the Airflow (LFM - Linear Feet per Minute): | Airflow (LFM) | Velocity (m/s) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 200 | 1.0 | 11.93 | | 400 | 2.0 | 6.41 | | 600 | 3.0 | 4.93 |
