The **ATS-13D-84-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically an **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) push-pin heat sink**. It is designed to dissipate heat from surface-mount components like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary mechanical and thermal characteristics of the part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Brass) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 7.00°C/W @ 100 LFM (Linear Feet per Minute) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 30.00mm x 30.00mm x 25.00mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Pressure Spring** | Stainless Steel | --- ## 2. Component Features ### A. Material and Coating The heat sink is made from **high-thermal-conductivity aluminum**. The "Blue Anodized" finish is not just aesthetic; it provides: * Increased surface emissivity for better radiation. * Corrosion resistance. * Electrical insulation to prevent accidental shorts if it touches nearby components. ### B. Push-Pin Attachment Mechanism This specific model uses a **Brass Push-Pin** with a stainless steel spring. * **Ease of Assembly:** It allows for quick installation to pre-drilled holes in the PCB. * **Reliable Pressure:** The spring ensures constant contact pressure between the heat sink and the electronic chip, which is vital for thermal efficiency. ### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "R0" suffix usually denotes that the part comes pre-applied with a **Phase Change Material (PCM)** or a high-performance thermal tape. This eliminates the need for manual application of thermal grease during assembly. --- ## 3. Comparison of Airflow Performance Thermal resistance decreases as airflow (LFM) increases, as shown in the typical performance curve for this series: | Air Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 | 7.00 | | 200 | 3.42 | | 300 | 2.62 | | 400 | 2.21 | --- ## 4. Part Number Breakdown Understanding the nomenclature helps in identifying variants: * **ATS:** Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **13D:** Series type (Push-pin heat sink). * **84:** Size/Geometry code. * **C2:** Material/Finish code (Aluminum, Blue Anodized). * **R0:** Packaging and Thermal Interface Material specification. ---
