The **ATS-16F-24-C2-R0** is a specific high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "push-pin" series designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other integrated circuits. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature that defines its physical and thermal characteristics: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Heat Sink Type** | Push-Pin (Standard) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.36°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 200 LFM) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-pin with a compression spring | --- ## 2. Dimensional Data The dimensions are critical for ensuring the heat sink fits within the PCB layout and clears surrounding components. | Dimension | Value (mm) | | :--- | :--- | | **Length (A)** | 45.00 mm | | **Width (B)** | 45.00 mm | | **Height (C)** | 25.00 mm | | **Hole Spacing (E)** | 38.00 mm | | **Hole Spacing (F)** | 38.00 mm | --- ## 3. Key Electronic Cooling Features ### A. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The **"C2"** in the part number indicates that this unit comes pre-applied with **T766** thermal phase change material. This ensures optimal heat transfer from the electronic component to the aluminum fins without needing separate thermal paste. ### B. Push-Pin Attachment The assembly uses a flexible, industry-standard attachment system: * **Springs:** Provides consistent pressure to ensure the TIM stays in contact with the die. * **Push-pins:** Nylon or brass pins that lock into pre-drilled holes in the PCB. ### C. Fin Geometry This model features a **Fine Pitch** or **Cross-Cut** design. The "F" in the part number typically denotes a specific fin density intended for high-airflow environments where a low pressure drop is required to move heat away quickly. --- ## 4.
