The **ATS-01A-13-C2-R0** is a specific part number for a high-performance **Heatsink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of their "push pin" attachment series, designed for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, or high-power chipsets. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Product Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Type** | Push Pin (Spring-loaded) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 50.00mm x 50.00mm x 15.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 13.70°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Weight** | ~35 Grams | --- ### 2. Key Features and Components The "Electronic Parts" of this assembly are primarily mechanical but critical for electronic thermal management: #### A. Fin Profile (Straight Fin) The heatsink utilizes a **straight-fin** geometry. This design is optimized for environments with consistent airflow (forced convection), allowing air to flow through the channels to dissipate heat efficiently from the baseplate. #### B. Push Pin Attachment Mechanism Instead of using messy adhesives, this part uses a **plastic push pin** and **compression spring** system. * **Purpose:** It ensures consistent pressure (clamping force) between the heatsink and the electronic chip. * **Benefit:** Improves thermal transfer and prevents the heatsink from shifting during mechanical shock or vibration. #### C. Interface Material (TIM) The "C2" in the part number indicates the type of **Thermal Interface Material** pre-applied to the base. * **T766 Phase Change Material:** This is a high-performance thermal pad that melts slightly at operating temperatures to fill microscopic air gaps between the chip and the aluminum, drastically reducing thermal resistance. --- ### 3. Part Number Breakdown Understanding the nomenclature helps identify its specific electronic application: * **ATS**: Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **01**: Series type. * **A**: Attachment style (Push Pin). * **13**: Physical height (15mm total with base). * **C2**: Thermal Interface Material type (T766). * **R0**: RoHS Compliance (Lead-free and environmentally safe). --- ### 4. Application Use-Case This part is typically found in: 1. **Networking Hardware:** Cooling ASICs in switches and routers. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where high reliability is required. 3. **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or power regulators.
