The **ATS-13F-24-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component. Specifically, it is a **push-pin style heat sink** designed for cooling integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronic components. --- ## Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions** | 54.00mm x 54.00mm | | **Height** | 20.00mm | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 8.37°C/W (at 100 LFM) | --- ## Key Components and Design Features ### 1. The Heat Sink Body The body is manufactured from high-quality aluminum, which provides excellent thermal conductivity while remaining lightweight. The **Blue Anodized** finish is not just aesthetic; it increases the surface emissivity, slightly improving radiation heat transfer and providing corrosion resistance. ### 2. Fin Configuration This model utilizes a **Fine Pitch** or **Cross-Cut** design. This allows for: * Increased surface area in a compact footprint. * Multi-directional airflow compatibility, making it efficient regardless of the orientation of the cooling fan. ### 3. Attachment Mechanism (Push-Pin) The "Push-Pin" assembly consists of: * **Plastic Pins:** Designed to snap into pre-drilled holes on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). * **Compression Springs:** These provide consistent pressure between the heat sink and the component, ensuring a tight thermal interface. ### 4. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part typically comes with a **pre-applied thermal interface material** (often a high-performance phase-change material or thermal pad) on the base. This fills microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the chip to maximize heat transfer. --- ## Deciphering the Part Number The part number follows a specific nomenclature used by ATS: * **ATS:** Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **13:** Series number. * **F:** Fin Type (Fine pitch). * **24:** Size/Length designation. * **C2:** Material/Finish code (Blue Anodized). * **R0:** Revision or RoHS compliance status. --- ## Applications This part is commonly used in high-heat environments such as: * **Networking Gear:** Routers and switches. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs. * **Power Electronics:** Voltage regulators and power modules.
