Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of the component: | Property | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-10E-142-C2-R0 | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Dimensions** | 30mm x 30mm x 15mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 10.07°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 200 LFM) | | **Pattern** | High-performance square pin fin | --- ### 2. Key Design Features * **Pin Fin Geometry:** Unlike standard straight fins, the square pin fin design increases surface area and promotes turbulence in the airflow, which significantly enhances heat dissipation in low-airflow environments. * **Push-Pin Attachment:** This model uses a plastic push-pin mechanism with a built-in spring. This ensures: * **Consistent Pressure:** Provides a precise amount of force on the electronic component for optimal thermal contact. * **Secure Mounting:** Reduces the risk of the heat sink shifting during vibration or shipping. * **Blue Anodized Coating:** The blue anodization is not just for aesthetics; it provides surface protection against corrosion and slightly improves radiant heat transfer. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases The ATS-10E-142-C2-R0 is typically used in the following scenarios: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling of high-speed networking chips and switch fabric processors. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Ideal for small form factor industrial computers where vertical space is limited to 15mm. 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from Voltage Regulator Modules (VRMs) or high-power MOSFETs. --- ### 4.
