The **ATS-16B-13-C2-R0** is a specific electronic component manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of their high-performance "push pin" heat sink series designed for thermal management of integrated circuits (ICs). --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature. Here are the core specifications for this model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Heat Sink | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Brass) | | **Fin Type** | Square Pin Fin | | **Thermal Resistance** | 13.70 °C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 50.0mm x 50.0mm x 15.0mm | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | | **Color/Finish** | Blue Anodized | --- ## 2. Component Breakdown ### A. Material and Thermal Properties The heat sink is made of **Aluminum 6063**, which offers a balance between thermal conductivity and weight. The **Blue Anodized** finish is not just aesthetic; it increases the surface emissivity, aiding in heat radiation and protecting the aluminum from corrosion. ### B. Mechanical Attachment (Push-Pin) Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, the `-R0` series uses a **brass push-pin** mechanism with a stainless steel spring. * **Benefits:** Provides consistent pressure for optimal thermal contact. * **Requirements:** Requires pre-drilled holes in the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). ### C. Pin Fin Geometry The "Square Pin Fin" design is versatile. Unlike straight-fin heat sinks that require air to flow in one specific direction, pin fins allow for **omnidirectional airflow**, making them ideal for systems where the air direction might be unpredictable or obstructed. --- ## 3. Part Number Decoding The alphanumeric code explains the exact configuration: | Segment | Meaning | | :--- | :--- | | **ATS** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (Manufacturer) | | **16** | Series (Push-Pin style) | | **B** | Aluminum Material | | **13** | Specific Model/Size ID | | **C2** | Blue Anodized Finish | | **R0** | RoHS Compliant / Revision code | --- ## 4. Usage Example To integrate this into a design, engineers typically use the following footprints in CAD software: ```yaml HeatSink_Data: Mounting_Hole_Diameter: 3.0mm Mounting_Hole_Spacing: 43.0mm (typical for 50mm heat sink) Total_Height_Z: 15.0mm Material_Type: AL-6063 ```
