The **ATS-16F-34-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. It belongs to the **blueICE™** series and is designed for high-efficiency cooling in restricted spaces. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of this component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions** | 70.00mm x 45.00mm | | **Height** | 22.86mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.81°C/W @ 200 LFM (Linear Feet per Minute) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded pins) | | **Spring Material** | Brass (Standard) | --- ## 2. Key Design Elements ### A. Fin Configuration The "F" in the part number indicates a **Fine Pitch** straight fin design. This maximizes the surface area available for heat dissipation, making it ideal for systems with high-velocity airflow (forced convection). ### B. pushPIN™ Attachment System This part uses a proprietary attachment mechanism designed to provide: * **Constant Pressure:** Ensures optimal thermal interface material (TIM) performance. * **Easy Installation:** Uses pre-drilled holes in the PCB, reducing the risk of component damage during assembly. * **Mechanical Stability:** Prevents the heat sink from shifting under vibration or shock. ### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "R0" suffix generally refers to the specific revision or packaging, but these units typically come with **pre-applied high-performance thermal phase-change material** or a thermal pad to ensure low contact resistance between the heat sink and the chip. --- ## 3. Applications This specific heat sink is commonly used in electronic environments where space is premium but heat density is high, such as: * **Network Switches and Routers:** Cooling ASICs and FPGAs. * **Industrial Power Supplies:** Managing heat in MOSFETs or IGBTs. * **Embedded Computing:** Cooling processors in high-density rack-mount servers. ---
