The **ATS-15H-63-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. This specific part belongs to the **pushPIN™** series, designed for efficient thermal management of electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and power modules. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature that defines its physical and thermal characteristics. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Fin Type** | Straight | | **Fin Pattern** | COARSE-PITCH | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 20mm | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | | **Color/Finish** | Blue Anodized | --- ### 2. Electronic Application & Performance Heat sinks like the ATS-15H-63-C2-R0 are critical in electronics to prevent **thermal throttling** or hardware failure. #### Thermal Resistance Thermal performance varies based on the airflow (velocity) within the electronic enclosure: * **Unducted Flow:** 2.85 °C/W @ 100 LFM. * **Ducted Flow:** 1.47 °C/W @ 100 LFM. * *Interpretation:* A lower °C/W rating means the heat sink is more efficient at moving heat away from the silicon die. #### Attachment System (pushPIN™) Instead of messy adhesives or fragile clips, this part uses a **pushPIN™** system: * **Brass Component:** Ensures durability during installation. * **Compression Spring:** Provides precise "firm" pressure to ensure maximum contact between the component and the heat sink. * **Compatibility:** Designed for pre-drilled holes in the PCB (Printed Circuit Board). --- ### 3.
