## Electronic Components & Specifications: ATS-16D-53-C2-R0 The **ATS-16D-53-C2-R0** is a high-performance **heat sink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "pushPIN™" series, designed for thermal management of electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, and other high-heat surface-mount devices. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications This part is defined by its dimensions, thermal resistance, and mounting mechanism. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Heat Sink Type** | Push-pin Heat Sink (Straight Fin) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 35.00 mm x 35.00 mm | | **Height (Fin Depth)** | 30.00 mm | | **Attachment Type** | Push-pin (Plastic/Brass) | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Physical Design & Composition The "parts" of this assembly work together to dissipate heat efficiently: * **Heat Sink Body:** Constructed from high-grade aluminum. The **straight fin** design allows for maximum airflow through the channels, making it ideal for systems with directed air cooling. * **Push-Pin Mechanism:** The "16D" in the part number identifies the specific attachment hardware. These pins are spring-loaded to provide consistent pressure (roughly 10-15 PSI) across the component surface, ensuring optimal thermal contact. * **Springs:** High-tension stainless steel springs ensure the heat sink remains secure during vibration or shipping. * **T766 Thermal Interface Material:** This is a pre-applied phase-change material or grease that fills microscopic air gaps between the component and the heat sink base. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance The efficiency of this part depends on the airflow (measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Airflow Velocity | Thermal Resistance (Unducted) | | :--- | :--- | | **@ 100 LFM (0.5 m/s)** | 2.32 °C/W | | **@ 300 LFM (1.5 m/s)** | 1.39 °C/W | | **@ 500 LFM (2.5 m/s)** | 1.13 °C/W | --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown The nomenclature **ATS-16D-53-C2-R0** can be decoded as follows: * **ATS**: Advanced Thermal Solutions. * **16**: Series/Attachment style. * **D**: Pin/Spring material and tension profile. * **53**: Unique design/footprint identifier. * **C2**: Material/Finish (typically Blue Anodized Aluminum). * **R0**: Revision/Packaging code. ---
