The **ATS-16F-54-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It belongs to the **pushPIN™** series, designed for efficient cooling of integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronic surface-mount components. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the physical and thermal properties of the part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 35.00 mm x 35.00 mm | | **Height (Height off Base)** | 35.00 mm | | **Attachment Type** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance (Unducted)** | 7.00 °C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Thermal Resistance (Ducted)** | 1.17 °C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Pitch** | Fine-Pitch | --- ### 2. Key Features and Design * **Thermal Performance:** The part features a "Fine-Pitch" design, which increases the surface area for heat dissipation. This makes it ideal for high-density electronic assemblies where airflow might be constrained. * **Attachment Mechanism:** It utilizes the **pushPIN™** system, which consists of a flexible attachment kit. This ensures a secure fit with a specific amount of pressure (compression) on the electronic component to maximize thermal transfer. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes pre-applied with **T766** thermal phase change material, ensuring low thermal resistance between the component and the heat sink right out of the box. --- ### 3. Component Breakdown The part number can be decoded as follows: * **ATS:** Advanced Thermal Solutions (Manufacturer). * **16:** Series identifier. * **F:** Fin profile (Fine-pitch). * **54:** Specific footprint/size configuration. * **C2:** Material/Finish code (Blue Anodized). * **R0:** Revision or packaging code. --- ### 4. Implementation Code Example If you are simulating thermal performance in a Python environment using a simplified thermal resistance model, you might represent the part data like this: ```python class HeatSink: def __init__(self, model, res_unducted, height, material): self.model = model self.res_unducted = res_unducted # °C/W self.height = height # mm self.material = material # Instantiating the ATS-16F-54-C2-R0 ats_heat_sink = HeatSink( model="ATS-16F-54-C2-R0", res_unducted=7.00, height=35.0, material="Blue Anodized Aluminum" ) def calculate_temp_rise(power_watts, resistance): return power_watts * resistance # Example: 5 Watts of heat generated by a CPU temp_rise = calculate_temp_rise(5, ats_heat_sink.res_unducted) print(f"Temperature rise above ambient: {temp_rise}°C") ```
