The **ATS-13F-115-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It belongs to the **pushPIN™** series, designed for secure and efficient cooling of electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number encodes specific physical and thermal characteristics: | Property | Description | | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Attachment Type** | Push-Pin (Secure mechanical mounting) | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Base Dimension** | 40mm x 40mm | | **Height** | 20mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 5.33 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Flow Direction** | XC (Cross-cut for multi-directional airflow) | --- ### 2. Key Features * **pushPIN™ Attachment:** Uses a flexible, spring-loaded mechanism that ensures precise pressure and easy installation onto the PCB. * **Cross-Cut Fin Pattern:** The "XC" pattern features square or rectangular pin-like structures. This allows the heat sink to perform well regardless of which direction the cooling air is blowing. * **High-Performance Interface:** It typically comes with **T766** pre-applied thermal interface material (TIM) to ensure optimal heat transfer from the component to the aluminum. * **Compression Springs:** The springs provide a calculated amount of force to ensure the heat sink stays in contact with the chip during vibrations or mechanical shocks. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Data Performance varies based on the velocity of the air flowing through the system: | Air Velocity (LFM) | 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 | 600 | 700 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Thermal Resistance (°C/W)** | 5.33 | 3.15 | 2.53 | 2.20 | 1.98 | 1.82 | 1.70 | --- ### 4. Application Use-Case This part is commonly used in: 1. **Networking Hardware:** Routers, switches, and bridges. 2. **Industrial PCs:** Embedded systems requiring passive or active forced-air cooling. 3. **Power Supplies:** Cooling voltage regulators or power transistors.
