The **ATS-13F-124-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It belongs to the **pushPIN™** series, designed for secure and efficient cooling of integrated circuits (ICs) like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the key physical and thermal characteristics of the part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Attachment Type** | Push Pin (Spring Loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.28°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 50.00mm x 50.00mm | | **Height** | 25.00mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | --- ### 2. Design and Composition The part is engineered to maximize heat dissipation while maintaining a compact footprint on the PCB. * **Heat Sink Material:** Extruded aluminum is used for its excellent thermal conductivity-to-weight ratio. * **Fin Configuration:** It uses a straight-fin design, which is optimized for airflow provided by a system fan (forced convection). * **Surface Treatment:** The "Blue Anodized" finish provides corrosion resistance and increases surface emissivity, which slightly improves radiant heat transfer. --- ### 3. Attachment Mechanism (pushPIN™) One of the most critical aspects of this part is the **Push Pin** mounting system. * **Secure Fit:** Uses a flexible spring-loaded pin that passes through pre-drilled holes in the PCB. * **Consistent Pressure:** The spring ensures that the heat sink maintains constant pressure against the electronic component, which is vital for the efficiency of the **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)**. * **Quick Installation:** Allows for tool-free or rapid assembly on production lines. --- ### 4.
