The part number **ATS-20F-58-C2-R0** refers to a high-performance **Heatsink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is specifically designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and high-power chipsets using "push pin" attachment technology. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the key physical and thermal characteristics of this component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions** | 35mm x 35mm x 15mm | | **Fin Type** | XCUT (Cross-Cut) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 10.11 °C/W (@ 1.0 m/s) | | **Attachment Type** | Push Pin (Brass) | | **Interface Material** | T766 (Thermal Tape/Paste) | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number Advanced Thermal Solutions uses a standardized nomenclature to describe their products: * **ATS**: Prefix for Advanced Thermal Solutions. * **20**: Refers to the specific series of the product. * **F**: Indicates the attachment mechanism (Push-Pin). * **58**: The sequence number for the specific size/fin configuration. * **C2**: Refers to the finish (Blue Anodized). * **R0**: Refers to the revision of the product. --- ### 3. Electronic Design Benefits Using this specific heatsink offers several advantages in PCB design: 1. **Improved Airflow**: The **XCUT** (cross-cut) fin design allows for omnidirectional airflow, making it effective even if the direction of the system fan isn't perfectly aligned with the fins. 2. **Ease of Installation**: The **Push-Pin** mechanism provides a secure mount without the need for tools, using a pre-installed spring that ensures constant pressure against the chip. 3. **High Thermal Conductivity**: The **Blue Anodized** coating is not just for aesthetics; it provides improved emissivity and protects the aluminum from corrosion in various environments. 4. **Low Profile**: At only **15mm height**, it is ideal for compact enclosures (1U or 2U rack servers) where space is limited. --- ### 4. Typical Applications * **Networking Equipment**: Switches and routers. * **Industrial PCs**: Cooling embedded processors. * **Power Supplies**: Dissipating heat from MOSFETs or voltage regulators. * **Consumer Electronics**: High-end audio/video processing units.
