## Electronic Part Analysis: ATS-16F-119-C2-R0 The **ATS-16F-119-C2-R0** is a high-performance **Heat Sink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "push pin" series designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other high-heat integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | |:---|:---| | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push Pin (Spring loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 4.68°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Flow Direction** | Vertical (Cross-Cut) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 20mm | --- ### 2. Physical Design and Construction * **Fins:** The unit features a **straight fin** design (specifically a cross-cut pattern), which allows for airflow from multiple directions. This is ideal for systems where the airflow direction might be unpredictable. * **Material:** It is made of **Aluminum 6063**, which offers a great balance between thermal conductivity and weight. The blue anodized finish provides corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes pre-applied with **T766**, a high-performance thermal phase-change material that ensures minimal air gaps between the heat sink and the chip. --- ### 3. Mounting Mechanism (Push Pin) The **-R0** suffix refers to the specific attachment kit. The push pin system is designed for: 1. **Ease of Assembly:** No specialized tools are required; the pins snap into pre-drilled holes on the PCB. 2. **Constant Pressure:** The integrated springs ensure that the heat sink maintains firm, uniform pressure on the component, which is critical for efficient heat transfer. --- ### 4. Performance Metrics Thermal performance is measured by thermal resistance (°C/W). A lower value indicates better cooling. | Airflow (LFM) | Velocity (m/s) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | |:---|:---|:---| | 200 | 1.0 | 4.68 | | 400 | 2.0 | 2.55 | | 600 | 3.0 | 2.05 | --- ### 5. Application Use Cases * **Networking:** Cooling for switches, routers, and gateways. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and small form factor (SFF) devices. * **Power Supplies:** Heat dissipation for MOSFETs or power regulators.
