The **ATS-20F-64-C2-R0** is a specific electronic component manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is a high-performance heat sink designed for thermal management in electronic assemblies. --- ### 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** | Fine-Pitch (Rectangular) | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic/Brass) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 45mm x 45mm | | **Height** | 25mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 9.39°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Surface Finish** | Blue Anodized | --- ### 2. Electronic/Physical Composition While not an "active" electronic part (like an IC), it is a critical "passive" mechanical-electronic component. Its design includes: * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This part usually comes pre-applied with **T766** phase-change material to ensure maximum heat transfer from the semiconductor to the aluminum. * **Fin Design:** It features a **Straight-Fin** or **Cross-Cut** pattern (depending on the specific sub-variant) designed to optimize airflow from cooling fans. * **Spring-Loaded Attachment:** The "push-pin" mechanism uses a compression spring to provide a specific amount of "downward force" (pressure), ensuring the heat sink stays in contact with the CPU/GPU despite vibrations or thermal expansion. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This component is typically used to cool the following electronic parts: 1. **Microprocessors (CPUs):** Low-to-medium power embedded processors. 2. **FPGAs/ASICs:** High-density logic chips that generate localized heat. 3. **Power Converters:** Voltage regulators and power modules that require surface-area cooling. --- ### 4.
