The **ATS-15B-17-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). Below is a detailed breakdown of its technical specifications and physical characteristics. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications This part belongs to the **pushPIN™** series, designed for easy mounting and high thermal efficiency. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-15B-17-C2-R0 | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 15.44°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (High-performance pre-applied phase change) | --- ### 2. Physical Dimensions The dimensions are critical for ensuring compatibility with the PCB layout and avoiding interference with adjacent components. * **Length (A):** 54.00 mm * **Width (B):** 54.00 mm * **Height (C):** 12.70 mm * **Pitch (E):** 47.00 mm (Distance between mounting holes) --- ### 3. Key Electronic/Thermal Features #### A. Fin Design The "17" in the part number indicates a specific fin pattern. These are typically **Square Fin** or **Cross-Cut** patterns designed to allow airflow from multiple directions (omnidirectional), making them ideal for systems where the airflow direction might be unpredictable. #### B. Mounting System (pushPIN™) The assembly uses a flexible attachment system: * **Springs:** Provides consistent pressure for optimal thermal contact. * **Pins:** Available in brass or plastic to secure the heat sink to the PCB through pre-drilled holes. #### C. Thermal Performance Curve Thermal resistance decreases as airflow (Measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM) increases: * **@ 100 LFM:** 15.44 °C/W * **@ 700 LFM:** 2.28 °C/W --- ### 4.
