The **ATS-13F-151-C1-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or power transistors to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature used by ATS. Below are the primary technical characteristics: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.90°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions** | 35.00mm x 35.00mm | | **Height** | 10.00mm | | **Fin Style** | XCUT (Cross-cut / Pin Fin) | --- ### 2. Key Features and Components * **XCUT Fin Design:** Unlike straight-line fins, the XCUT design features cross-cut patterns. This increases surface area and creates more turbulence in the airflow, which significantly improves heat transfer efficiency in low-airflow environments. * **pushPIN™ Attachment:** This model uses a tool-free mounting system. It consists of a plastic or brass pin and a compression spring that provides consistent pressure between the heat sink and the chip. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes pre-applied with **ATS-CPV2** (a high-performance thermal grease) or similar, ensuring there are no air gaps between the component and the heat sink. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** Beyond aesthetics, the anodization protects the aluminum from corrosion and slightly improves thermal emissivity. --- ### 3. Applications This heat sink is typically found in: 1. **Networking Hardware:** Routers, switches, and modems. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and Single Board Computers (SBCs). 3. **Power Electronics:** Voltage regulators and power supplies where space is limited but heat dissipation is critical. --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown The nomenclature `ATS-13F-151-C1-R0` can be decoded as follows: * **ATS:** Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **13:** Series/Attachment type. * **F:** Fin configuration/density. * **151:** Specific dimensions and height code. * **C1:** Thermal interface material and color code. * **R0:** Revision/RoHS compliance status.
