The **ATS-20D-02-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors. --- ### ## Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of this specific model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions** | 40mm x 40mm x 15mm | | **Attachment Type** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 18.32°C/W (Unducted) | | **Thermal Interface Material** | T766 (High performance) | --- ### ## Key Electronic & Physical Features ### 1. Thermal Dissipation (Heat Transfer) The core function of this part is to lower the junction temperature of integrated circuits (ICs). With a height of **15mm**, it provides a balance between surface area and low-profile clearance for compact electronic enclosures. ### 2. pushPIN™ Attachment System Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, the ATS-20D-02-C2-R0 uses a mechanical **Push-Pin** system. * **Benefits:** It provides consistent pressure on the chip, ensuring maximum contact with the Thermal Interface Material (TIM). * **Hardware:** It utilizes a pre-assembled spring and plastic pin that snaps into 3mm holes on the PCB. ### 3. Cross-Cut Fin Design The "D" in the part number indicates a **straight-fin or cross-cut** pattern. This design allows for better airflow from multiple directions, making it efficient in systems where the cooling fan might be mounted at an angle. ### 4. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part comes pre-applied with **T766**, a thermal grease/pad. This eliminates the need for manual application, reducing assembly time and ensuring a bubble-free connection between the electronic component and the aluminum base. --- ### ## Identification Code Breakdown Understanding the part number helps in identifying its specific configuration: * **ATS:** Advanced Thermal Solutions (Manufacturer) * **20:** Series Number (pushPIN™) * **D:** Fin pitch/style * **02:** Dimensions/Mounting hole pattern * **C2:** Material/Color (Blue Anodized Aluminum) * **R0:** Revision/Packaging code
