The **ATS-16E-65-C2-R0** is a high-performance 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 failure. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature used by ATS to define the dimensions, fin style, and thermal properties. | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic or Brass) | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Thermal Resistance** | 7.29°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | --- ## 2. Physical Dimensions The physical footprint determines compatibility with the PCB layout and surrounding components. | Dimension | Value (mm) | | :--- | :--- | | **Length** | 45.00 mm | | **Width** | 45.00 mm | | **Height** | 30.00 mm | | **Pitch (Hole-to-Hole)** | 38.00 mm | --- ## 3. Key Components & Features * **pushPIN™ Attachment:** This model uses a spring-loaded push-pin mechanism. This provides the necessary pressure for optimal contact with the heat source without requiring tools for installation. * **Straight Fin Design:** Optimized for environments with consistent airflow. The gaps between the fins allow air to pass through and carry away heat via convection. * **High-Performance Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This part usually comes pre-applied with **T766** phase-change material or similar, ensuring a low thermal resistance bridge between the chip and the aluminum base. * **Material Grade:** Made from 6063 aluminum, which offers high thermal conductivity and is lightweight. --- ## 4.
