The **ATS-16F-39-C3-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is part of the "push pin" attachment series designed for cooling integrated circuits (ICs). --- ## 1. Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-16F-39-C3-R0 | | **Heat Sink Type** | Push Pin (Spring Loaded) | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Resistance** | 1.90°C/W (@ 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions** | 45mm x 45mm x 10mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | --- ## 2. Key Features and Design ### A. Fin Geometry (Straight Fin) The "Straight Fin" design is optimized for **forced-air cooling** (airflow from fans). The gaps between the fins allow air to pass through linearly, maximizing the surface area available for heat dissipation. ### B. Attachment Mechanism (Push Pin) Instead of adhesive tapes, this model uses a **push pin and spring** system: * **Mechanical Stability:** Provides high pressure and a secure fit to the PCB. * **Durability:** Unlike thermal tape, it does not degrade over time due to heat. * **Ease of Installation:** Uses pre-drilled holes in the PCB. ### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "R0" at the end of the part number typically indicates that the unit comes with a pre-applied **Thermal Interface Material**. This fills the microscopic air gaps between the component (CPU/GPU) and the heat sink base to ensure maximum heat transfer. --- ## 3.
