### ATS-16H-83-C2-R0: Technical Specification Overview The **ATS-16H-83-C2-R0** is a high-performance **heat sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It belongs to the **blueANODIZED** series and is specifically designed for thermal management of electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and power modules. --- ### 1. Key Physical Specifications The following table highlights the mechanical dimensions and material properties: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 30.00 mm x 30.00 mm | | **Height (H)** | 20.00 mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight (High-density) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | --- ### 2. Thermal Performance Data Thermal resistance is measured in °C/W (Celsius per Watt), indicating how effectively the heat sink dissipates heat at different airflow speeds. | Air Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (Unducted) | Thermal Resistance (Ducted) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 100 (0.5 m/s) | 16.05 °C/W | 2.72 °C/W | | 200 (1.0 m/s) | 5.38 °C/W | 2.02 °C/W | | 400 (2.0 m/s) | 3.16 °C/W | 1.61 °C/W | | 600 (3.0 m/s) | 2.32 °C/W | 1.43 °C/W | --- ### 3. Electronic Design Features * **pushPIN™ Technology:** This part utilizes a specialized mounting system that includes a flexible spring-loaded mechanism. This ensures consistent pressure across the interface between the heat sink and the electronic component, maximizing heat transfer. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** The "R0" suffix typically indicates that the part comes pre-applied with **T766** (a high-performance thermal grease) or is designed for a specific phase-change material to reduce air gaps. * **Compatibility:** Designed for high-density PCB layouts where space is limited but heat dissipation is critical. --- ### 4.
