The **ATS-16D-41-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 integrated circuits (ICs) and surface-mount devices (SMDs). --- ### 1. Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Part Number** | ATS-16D-41-C2-R0 | | **Product Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Base Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic/Brass) | | **Fin Type** | Straight (Square) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 10.02 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | --- ### 2. Physical Dimensions Precision measurement is critical for board layout and component clearance: * **Length (A):** 40.00 mm * **Width (B):** 40.00 mm * **Height (C):** 20.00 mm * **Hole Spacing (E):** 45.00 mm * **Hole Spacing (F):** 45.00 mm --- ### 3. Key Electronic & Mechanical Features #### A. pushPIN™ Attachment System This part utilizes the ATS pushPIN™ system, which provides a fast and secure attachment to the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). It uses a pre-assembled spring-loaded mechanism that ensures uniform pressure (clamping force) across the component, improving thermal interface performance. #### B. Material and Thermal Conductivity The use of **AL6063 Aluminum** offers high thermal conductivity. The **Blue Anodized** finish is not just aesthetic; it provides surface protection and slightly increases emissivity for better radiation heat transfer. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C2" in the part number typically indicates that the heat sink comes pre-applied with **ATS-PPS-02**, a high-performance thermal grease, ensuring immediate out-of-the-box installation with optimal heat transfer from the chip to the sink. --- ### 4. Thermal Performance Comparison Thermal resistance decreases as airflow (measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM) increases: | Airflow (LFM) | Velocity (m/s) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 100 | 0.5 | 10.02 | | 300 | 1.5 | 3.62 | | 500 | 2.5 | 2.53 | | 700 | 3.5 | 2.10 | ---
