The **ATS-13B-121-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heatsink** designed by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is part of the "push pin" series, designed for cooling integrated circuits (ICs) like processors, FPGAs, and ASICs. ### 1. Key Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Attachment Method** | Push Pin (with Springs) | | **Dimensions** | 45mm x 45mm x 10mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 9.48°C/W (at 1.0 m/s flow) | | **Fin Type** | Fine Pitch (Rectangular) | | **Thermal Interface** | T766 (Phase Change Material) | --- ### 2. Physical and Design Components #### A. Fin Geometry (The "B" in the Part Number) The "13B" indicates a specific fin pattern. These are usually **straight-cut or cross-cut fins** designed to maximize surface area within a low profile (10mm height). This allows it to fit in compact electronic enclosures where vertical space is limited. #### B. Push Pin Attachment Unlike adhesive-based heatsinks, this model uses a mechanical **push pin** system: * **Plastic/Brass Pins:** Inserted through pre-drilled holes in the PCB. * **Compression Springs:** These ensure a consistent and reliable downward force, which optimizes the contact between the component and the heatsink. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part comes pre-applied with **T766**, a high-performance thermal pad/phase change material. This fills the microscopic air gaps between the heatsink base and the chip, significantly improving heat transfer efficiency. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Analysis The efficiency of this heatsink depends on the Airflow (Measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Airflow (LFM) | Velocity (m/s) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **200** | 1.0 | 9.48 | | **400** | 2.0 | 5.04 | | **600** | 3.0 | 4.01 | --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown The code **ATS-13B-121-C2-R0** can be decoded as follows: * **ATS:** Advanced Thermal Solutions (Manufacturer). * **13B:** Series and fin pattern. * **121:** Dimensional code (45x45x10mm). * **C2:** Blue Anodized finish. * **R0:** Compliance/Version indicator (RoHS compliant).
