Key Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Base Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 1.45°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Weight** | ~40.0 grams | | **Dimensions** | 45mm x 45mm x 25mm | --- ### 2. Component Features * **Heat Sink Material:** Constructed from high-quality aluminum, which offers excellent thermal conductivity while remaining lightweight. * **Fin Design:** Features a **fine-pitch** straight fin design. This maximizes surface area, allowing for efficient heat dissipation when used with forced airflow (fans). * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This part number typically comes with **T766** pre-applied thermal phase-change material, ensuring high-quality contact between the heat sink and the electronic component. * **Attachment Mechanism:** The `pushPIN™` system utilizes a brass pin and a stainless steel spring. This provides a precise, calculated pressure (load) to the component, which is critical for maximizing thermal transfer without damaging the chip. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Metrics The effectiveness of the heat sink depends on the airflow (measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Airflow Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 (0.5 m/s) | 2.51 | | 200 (1.0 m/s) | 1.45 | | 300 (1.5 m/s) | 1.13 | | 400 (2.0 m/s) | 0.98 | --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown The nomenclature follows a specific logic: * **ATS-16**: Series identifier. * **F**: Fin pitch/type. * **60**: Component-specific dimensions or designators. * **C2**: Material/Finish code (Blue Anodized). * **R0**: Revision or specific packaging code. ---
