The **ATS-20D-97-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. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature that defines its physical and thermal characteristics: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Product Series** | pushPIN™ Heat Sink | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded pins) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Resistance (Flowing)** | 2.03 °C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Thermal Resistance (Static)** | 1.14 °C/W @ 700 LFM | | **Dimensions** | 45.00mm x 45.00mm | | **Height** | 12.70mm | --- ### 2. Key Component Features #### A. The pushPIN™ Attachment System Unlike adhesive tapes or simple clips, the `pushPIN™` system ensures a secure and consistent pressure across the interface between the heat sink and the electronic component. This minimizes the air gap and optimizes heat transfer. #### B. Cross-Cut Fin Design The "97" in the part number refers to a specific fin pattern. This heat sink uses a **straight fin/cross-cut** design which: * Increases surface area for radiation and convection. * Allows for multi-directional airflow, making it versatile for different PCB layouts. #### C. C2 (Thermal Interface Material) The **C2** designation indicates that this model comes pre-applied with **ATS-PPS-2** thermal interface material. This is a high-performance thermal pad or grease that fills microscopic imperfections between the component surface and the heat sink base. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific part is typically found in: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling of networking processors and ASICs. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where space is limited but heat generation is high. 3. **Power Electronics:** Cooling of MOSFETs or voltage regulators in power supplies. --- ### 4.
