The **ATS-10F-65-C2-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 power transistors to prevent thermal throttling or failure. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature that defines its physical and thermal characteristics. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Fin Style** | Straight | | **Attachment Type** | Push-Pin (Spring Loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 7.29°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 20mm | | **Interface Material** | T766 (Thermal Grease) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | --- ## 2. Key Component Breakdown ### A. The Heat Sink Body * **Material:** Made of high-grade aluminum for a balance of weight, cost, and thermal conductivity. * **Fin Design:** It utilizes a high-density fin pattern to maximize the surface area exposed to the cooling airflow. * **Finish:** The "Blue Anodized" finish is not just aesthetic; it provides corrosion resistance and slightly improves emissivity for radiant cooling. ### B. The Attachment Mechanism (pushPIN™) The "F" in the part number indicates the use of the **pushPIN™** system. This consists of: * **Brass/Plastic Pins:** Secure the heat sink to pre-drilled holes in the PCB. * **Compression Springs:** Ensure constant and even pressure (Interface Pressure) between the heat sink base and the electronic chip, which is critical for efficient heat transfer. ### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) * The part comes pre-applied with **T766 thermal grease**. * This eliminates the microscopic air gaps between the component surface and the heat sink base, ensuring the lowest possible thermal resistance at the contact point. --- ## 3. Usage Context This part is commonly used in industrial and computing applications where reliable cooling is required for medium-power components. ```yaml Application_Scenarios: - Networking_Equipment: Switches and Routers - Industrial_PC: Embedded systems in high-heat environments - Power_Supplies: Cooling MOSFETs or Voltage Regulators - Prototyping: Standard 45mm footprint for common IC packages ```
