Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the key physical and thermal characteristics of this specific part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. | | **Part Number** | ATS-13B-93-C2-R0 | | **Fin Style** | maxiFLOW™ (Tapered Fin) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40.00mm x 40.00mm x 15.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 7.37°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Interface Material** | T766 (Thermal Tape) | --- ## 2. Component Breakdown ### A. Fin Geometry (maxiFLOW™) The "maxiFLOW" design features a flared, tapered fin structure. This geometry is engineered to: * Increase surface area for better convection. * Maximize airflow across the component. * Reduce pressure drop, allowing for smaller, quieter fans to be used in the system. ### B. Attachment Mechanism (pushPIN™) The **pushPIN™** system is a standardized mounting method that ensures: * **Constant Pressure:** A built-in spring provides a precise amount of compression (force) between the heat sink and the electronic component. * **Ease of Assembly:** It can be quickly installed into pre-drilled holes in the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) using plastic or brass pins. ### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part comes pre-applied with **T766 thermal tape**. * **Purpose:** It fills microscopic air gaps between the component surface and the heat sink base. * **Conductivity:** It ensures efficient heat transfer, preventing "hot spots" that could damage the silicon. --- ## 3. Applications This part is typically used in environments where space is limited but thermal loads are high: * **Telecommunications:** Network switches and routers. * **Industrial PC:** Embedded controllers and single-board computers. * **Consumer Electronics:** High-end audio/video processing units.
