Key Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic/Brass) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 36.83mm x 36.83mm x 15mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Thermal Resistance** | 14.90 °C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | --- ### 2. Component Analysis #### A. Thermal Performance The heat sink is designed to dissipate heat generated by power-hungry electronic parts. The thermal resistance varies based on airflow: * **Low Airflow (100 LFM):** ~14.90 °C/W * **High Airflow (700 LFM):** ~2.32 °C/W #### B. The pushPIN™ Attachment System Unlike traditional adhesive-based heat sinks, the `ATS-P2-36-C3-R0` uses a mechanical attachment system: * **Spring-loaded mechanism:** Provides consistent pressure on the electronic component (TIM - Thermal Interface Material) for optimal heat transfer. * **Ease of Assembly:** Can be installed and removed without chemicals or scraping adhesives. #### C. Material and Finish * **Aluminum 6063:** Chosen for its high thermal conductivity and lightweight properties. * **Blue Anodized Coating:** Provides corrosion resistance and improves emissivity for better radiant heat loss. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific part is typically used for cooling: 1. **Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs)** 2. **Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs)** 3. **High-speed Networking Processors** 4. **Power Converters** --- ### 4. Mounting Hole Pattern The physical footprint and mounting requirements are critical for PCB layout: ```text Pin-to-Pin Pitch: Vertical: 36.83 mm Horizontal: 36.83 mm Height: 15.00 mm ```
