The **ATS-19B-16-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component. Specifically, it is an **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)** push-pin heat sink designed for cooling integrated circuits (ICs), such as CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Product Category** | Heat Sinks | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Brass) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 54.00mm x 54.00mm x 10.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 18.08°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Fin Style** | Straight (Standard Profile) | --- ### 2. Component Breakdown #### A. Heat Sink Geometry The device features a low-profile design (10mm height). This makes it suitable for applications with limited vertical clearance, such as 1U rack servers or thin telecommunications hardware. The "Straight Fin" design allows for efficient airflow in a single direction. #### B. The Push-Pin Attachment System Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, the **ATS-19B-16-C2-R0** uses a mechanical push-pin system: * **Secure Mounting:** Brass push-pins provide high pressure to ensure optimal contact with the chip. * **Compression Spring:** A stainless steel spring maintains constant pressure even as temperatures fluctuate and materials expand or contract. * **Installation:** Requires pre-drilled holes in the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part number suffix **-R0** indicates that it typically comes with **ATS-PPS-16** or a similar high-performance thermal pad pre-applied to the base. This eliminates the need for manual thermal paste application. --- ### 3. Part Number Decoding The manufacturer uses a specific nomenclature to describe the part's attributes: * **ATS:** Advanced Thermal Solutions (Brand) * **19B:** Series Identifier * **16:** Fin pitch/specific geometry variation * **C2:** Blue Anodized finish (C1 is usually Gold, C2 is Blue, C3 is Black) * **R0:** Revision/Packaging status --- ### 4. Applications * **Networking:** Routers, switches, and base stations. * **Computing:** Embedded systems and industrial motherboards. * **Power Electronics:** Cooling MOSFETs or power regulators that generate significant localized heat.
