The **ATS-16F-58-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS). It belongs to the **blueICE™** or **pushPIN™** series, designed for cooling high-heat-generating components like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary electronic and physical specifications for this part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. | | **Part Number** | ATS-16F-58-C2-R0 | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | ~10.11 °C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Thermal Resistance** | ~2.00 °C/W (Ducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | --- ### 2. Physical Dimensions Precision is critical for PCB layout and clearance. The dimensions are as follows: * **Length (A):** 35.00 mm * **Width (B):** 35.00 mm * **Height (C):** 25.00 mm * **Pitch (E):** 40.00 mm (Distance between mounting holes) * **Pitch (F):** 40.00 mm --- ### 3. Key Component Features #### A. The "pushPIN™" Attachment System Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, the `-R0` suffix indicates a mechanical attachment system. It uses a **brass pin and a stainless steel spring**. * **Reliability:** Provides consistent pressure across the interface (TIM), improving heat transfer. * **Ease of Use:** Allows for quick installation and removal without damaging the PCB. #### B. Material and Coating * **Aluminum Construction:** Offers a balance between weight and thermal conductivity. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** Not only provides a professional aesthetic but also adds a layer of corrosion resistance and slightly improves radiative heat loss. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) This specific part number typically comes pre-applied with **T766**, a high-performance phase-change thermal interface material. This ensures that the microscopic gaps between the electronic component (heat source) and the heat sink are filled, minimizing thermal impedance. --- ### 4.
