The **ATS-04A-83-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically an **Aluminum Pin Fin Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. It is part of the **pushPIN™** series, designed for cooling integrated circuits (ICs) and other PCB-mounted components. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of this part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Fin Type** | Pin Fin (Cross-cut) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Dimensions** | 30.0mm x 30.0mm | | **Height** | 20.00 mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 16.05 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Interface Material** | T766 (Pre-applied Phase Change Material) | --- ### 2. Electronic/Thermal Performance The "Electronic" aspect of this part relates to its ability to dissipate heat generated by power-hungry components like CPUs, FPGAs, or GPUs. * **Thermal Conductivity:** The AL6063 aluminum alloy provides a high rate of heat transfer from the component base to the pins. * **Airflow Efficiency:** The pin-fin design is "omni-directional," meaning it can accept airflow from any direction, making it ideal for electronics with complex internal air currents. * **Low Pressure Drop:** The spacing between pins is optimized to allow air to pass through with minimal resistance while maximizing surface area. --- ### 3. Mechanical Components (pushPIN™ System) This part includes specific electronic mounting hardware to ensure reliable thermal contact: 1. **Brass Pins:** Provides structural stability and alignment. 2. **Stainless Steel Springs:** Ensures consistent downward pressure (clamping force) to the electronic chip, which is critical for the effectiveness of the Thermal Interface Material (TIM). 3. **TIM (T766):** A specialized compound pre-applied to the base that fills microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the electronic package. --- ### 4.
