The **ATS-04F-58-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 components like CPUs, GPUs, or power transistors to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number provides specific details about its dimensions, material, and thermal performance. | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-04F-58-C2-R0 | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded pins) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40mm x 40mm x 25mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 10.11°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Fin Pattern** | Cross-Cut (Pin Fin) | --- ### 2. Key Design Features #### A. The pushPIN™ Attachment System One of the defining "electronic part" features of this model is the **pushPIN™** mechanism. * **Reliability:** It ensures uniform pressure across the component surface (TIM - Thermal Interface Material), which is critical for efficient heat transfer. * **Hardware:** It usually consists of a brass or plastic pin and a stainless steel spring. #### B. Cross-Cut Fin Design Unlike straight-fin heat sinks, the cross-cut (or pin-fin) design allows for: * **Omnidirectional Airflow:** Air can enter the heat sink from any direction, making it ideal for cramped PCB environments where airflow direction is inconsistent. * **Increased Surface Area:** Maximizes the contact area between the metal and the air. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "R0" suffix often indicates the inclusion of a pre-applied high-performance thermal interface material (like **T766**), which fills the microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the electronic chip. --- ### 3. Applications in Electronics This specific heat sink is commonly used in the following electronic assemblies: 1. **Telecommunications:** High-speed routers and switches. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and controllers. 3. **Power Electronics:** Voltage regulators and motor drivers that generate localized heat. ---
