The **ATS-13F-11-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 The part number follows a specific nomenclature used by Advanced Thermal Solutions. Below is the breakdown of its physical and thermal characteristics: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Fin Type** | XC-Cut (Cross-cut) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 50mm x 50mm x 10mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 18.78°C/W (at 1.0 m/s airflow) | | **TIM (Thermal Interface Material)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Components & Design Features #### A. XC-Cut Fin Design The "XC-Cut" refers to the straight fin pattern that has been cross-cut. This design: * Allows for **multi-directional airflow**, making it effective regardless of how the cooling fan is oriented. * Increases surface area for heat exchange without significantly increasing the footprint. #### B. Push-Pin Attachment Mechanism This part uses a spring-loaded push-pin system. * **Ease of Assembly:** It allows for quick installation onto a PCB. * **Consistent Pressure:** The springs ensure a precise amount of downward force, which is critical for the effectiveness of the thermal interface material. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The model comes with **T766** pre-applied to the base. * This is a phase-change or high-performance pad that fills microscopic air gaps between the component and the heat sink. * It ensures maximum heat transfer efficiency from the silicon chip to the aluminum fins. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific heat sink is typically used in: * **Networking Hardware:** High-speed routers and switches. * **Industrial PCs:** Compact systems requiring passive or low-airflow cooling. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling voltage regulators or power transistors. --- ### 4.
