The **ATS-10B-114-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "pushPIN™" series, designed specifically for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other high-heat surface-mount devices. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded pins) | | **Thermal Resistance (Flowing)** | 3.26 °C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Thermal Resistance (Static)** | 7.41 °C/W | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40mm x 40mm x 15mm | | **Fin Type** | High-performance rectangular fin | --- ### 2. Physical Design Features * **Rectangular Fin Pattern:** The fin configuration is optimized for maximum surface area and airflow efficiency. The "B" in the part number indicates a specific fin density designed for versatile air velocity environments. * **Push-Pin Attachment:** Instead of messy adhesives or simple clips, this uses a spring-loaded pin mechanism. This ensures: * **Uniform Pressure:** Maintains consistent contact with the electronic component. * **Secure Fit:** Prevents the heat sink from shifting during vibration or shipping. * **Pre-applied Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes with a pre-applied phase-change material or high-performance thermal grease to ensure optimal heat transfer from the chip to the aluminum. --- ### 3. Application and Usage This part is commonly found in industrial electronics, telecommunications hardware, and high-end consumer electronics. #### Why it is used: 1. **Heat Dissipation:** It draws heat away from integrated circuits (ICs) to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. 2. **Space Efficiency:** At 15mm in height, it is considered a "low profile" solution for 1U or 2U server racks. 3. **Durability:** The blue anodized finish provides corrosion resistance and better thermal emissivity. --- ### 4.
