The **ATS-04B-35-C2-R0** is a specific electronic component categorized as a **High-Performance Heat Sink**, manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is part of their "push pin" attachment series designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Brass) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 12.48°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 35mm x 35mm x 10mm | | **Flow** | Omni-directional (Pin Fin) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | --- ### 2. Key Component Features #### A. Pin Fin Design Unlike traditional straight-fin heat sinks, the "B" series utilizes a **pin fin** geometry. This allows for: * **Omni-directional Airflow:** It can receive cooling air from any direction, making it ideal for systems with complex internal air turbulence. * **Increased Surface Area:** The individual pins provide a high surface-area-to-volume ratio for better heat dissipation. #### B. Attachment Mechanism The "04" and "C2" parts of the model number refer to the specific attachment hardware: * **Push-Pins:** These provide a secure, vibration-resistant mount to the PCB. * **Compression Springs:** These ensure constant, uniform pressure between the heat sink and the electronic chip, which is vital for thermal efficiency. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) Typically, these parts come with a pre-applied **Phase Change Material (PCM)** or thermal tape. This eliminates the need for manual application of thermal paste and ensures consistent performance across manufacturing batches. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific heat sink size (35mm) is commonly used for: 1. **Network Switches:** Cooling ASICs and processing chips. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where space is limited but cooling is critical. 3. **Power Supplies:** Cooling voltage regulators or power transistors. --- ### 4.
