The **ATS-04D-29-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic surface-mount devices like BGA (Ball Grid Array) chips, CPUs, or high-power transistors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of this specific part number: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. (ATS) | | **Heat Sink Type** | pushPIN™ HS Assembly | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Spring-loaded) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Body), Copper (Thermal Interface) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Resistance** | 7.57°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 45mm x 45mm | | **Height** | 20mm | --- ### 2. Key Design Components #### A. pushPIN™ Attachment System The "R0" at the end of the part number indicates the use of a specific push-pin and spring mechanism. This design ensures: * **Constant Pressure:** The spring-loaded pins provide uniform pressure across the electronic component, ensuring optimal thermal contact. * **Tool-less Installation:** These are designed for quick assembly on printed circuit boards (PCBs) with pre-drilled holes. #### B. Fin Design This model utilizes **Straight Fin** or **Cross-Cut** geometry. The fins increase the surface area available for convective cooling. Because of its height (20mm) and fin density, it is categorized as a high-performance sink suitable for environments with moderate to high airflow. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part comes pre-applied with a thermal interface material (typically a high-performance phase-change material or grease). This fills microscopic air gaps between the heat source and the heat sink base to lower thermal resistance. --- ### 3.
