The **ATS-04F-41-C1-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Attachment Type** | Push-Pin (Plastic or Brass) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 45mm x 45mm | | **Height** | 20mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | ~10.02 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Flow Direction** | XC (Cross-flow / Omnidirectional) | --- ### 2. Key Component Features * **Heat Sink Material:** Made of aluminum, which provides a balance between lightweight design and high thermal conductivity. * **pushPIN™ Attachment:** This model uses a tool-free push-pin mechanism that secures the heat sink to the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) using pre-drilled holes and springs. This ensures consistent pressure for optimal thermal contact. * **Fin Profile:** It features a **Straight Fin** or **Square Pin** design (depending on the specific XC variant) to allow air to pass through from multiple directions, making it ideal for systems with unpredictable airflow. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** Typically comes with a pre-applied high-performance thermal pad (often ATS-PPS-04) to bridge the air gap between the component and the heat sink. --- ### 3. Part Number Breakdown Understanding the nomenclature helps identify the exact specs: * **ATS:** Brand (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **04:** Part series/dimensions. * **F:** Thermal performance/Fin configuration. * **41:** Length/Width identifier (45mm). * **C1:** Material and Finish (Aluminum, Blue Anodized). * **R0:** Version/Packaging code. --- ### 4. Application Usage ```python # Example of calculating required thermal resistance for this part # R_ca = (T_junction - T_ambient) / Power_Watts power_dissipation = 5 # Watts max_temp = 85 # Celsius ambient_temp = 35 # Celsius required_resistance = (max_temp - ambient_temp) / power_dissipation print(f"Required R_ca: {required_resistance} C/W") # If 10.02 C/W (ATS-04F-41-C1-R0) < Required R_ca, the part is suitable. ```
