The **ATS-17G-98-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. It is part of the "pushPIN™" series, designed for precision cooling of electronic integrated circuits (ICs). --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of this specific part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Attachment Type** | Push Pin (Brass) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 45mm x 45mm | | **Height** | 20mm | | **Fin Style** | Fine Pitch (Cross-Cut) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 15.31°C/W (Unducted @ 100 LFM) | --- ### 2. Key Component Features #### A. Thermal Performance This heat sink is designed to dissipate heat generated by processors or power modules. The thermal resistance decreases significantly as airflow increases: * **100 LFM (Linear Feet per Minute):** 15.31°C/W * **700 LFM:** 2.63°C/W #### B. Push-Pin Attachment Mechanism Instead of using messy adhesives or fragile clips, this part uses a **Brass Push-Pin** with a compression spring. * **Springs:** Provided in stainless steel or hardware sets to ensure consistent pressure (load) on the electronic component, maximizing heat transfer. * **Interface:** It is typically paired with a **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)**, often pre-applied by the manufacturer to fill microscopic air gaps between the chip and the heat sink. #### C. Cross-Cut Fin Design The "Fine-Pitch" cross-cut pattern allows for airflow from multiple directions. This is critical in cramped electronic enclosures where air may not move in a perfectly linear path. --- ### 3. Applications in Electronics The ATS-17G-98-C2-R0 is commonly used in: * **Networking Equipment:** Switches and routers. * **Industrial PCs:** Cooling CPUs or FPGAs. * **Power Supplies:** Managing heat in high-efficiency DC-DC converters. * **Telecommunications:** High-speed data processing units. ---
