The **ATS-04D-34-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "push pin" series designed for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, and other integrated circuits (ICs). --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of this component: | Specification | Value/Description | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (High Thermal Conductivity) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 36.83mm x 36.83mm x 30.00mm | | **Attachment Method** | Push Pin (with Springs) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.81°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Interface Material** | T766 (Pre-applied Thermal Interface Material) | --- ### 2. Design Features The "C2" suffix in the part number indicates specific material and configuration choices: * **Straight Fin Design:** Optimized for **unidirectional airflow**, meaning it works best when air is forced through the fins in a straight line by a fan. * **Push Pin Attachment:** Features a plastic or brass push pin with a spring mechanism. This ensures a specific **compression force** is applied to the chip, improving heat transfer while preventing damage to the PCB. * **Material Efficiency:** The aluminum construction offers a balance between lightweight design and effective heat dissipation. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** It comes with a pre-applied layer of **T766 phase-change material**, which fills microscopic gaps between the heat sink and the component to minimize thermal resistance. --- ### 3. Part Number Breakdown The nomenclature for ATS heat sinks typically follows this structure: | Segment | Meaning | | :--- | :--- | | **ATS** | Manufacturer: Advanced Thermal Solutions | | **04D** | Series or Push-Pin type | | **34** | Dimension/Form Factor code | | **C2** | Color/Material (Blue Anodized Aluminum) | | **R0** | Revision/Packaging standard | --- ### 4. Typical Applications This specific heat sink is commonly used in: * **Networking Equipment:** Routers, switches, and modems. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and controllers. * **Power Electronics:** Voltage regulators and high-power transistors. ---
