The **ATS-20G-75-C1-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is part of the "push pin" attachment series designed for cooling integrated circuits (ICs) and other PCB components. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature that defines its physical and thermal characteristics: | Property | Specification | Details | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | Part of the *maxiFLOW*™ line | | **Material** | Aluminum | Blue Anodized finish | | **Dimensions** | 45mm x 45mm x 10mm | Width x Length x Height | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | Optimized for high-velocity airflow | | **Attachment Type** | Push Pin | Standard 2-hole mounting | | **Thermal Resistance** | ~1.50 °C/W | (Varies based on airflow velocity) | | **Interface Material** | T766 | Pre-applied Thermal Interface Material (TIM) | --- ### 2. Key Components & Design Features #### A. The Heat Sink Body Constructed from lightweight aluminum, the sink uses a specialized fin pattern. The **straight-fin** design is engineered to minimize pressure drop while maximizing surface area contact with moving air. #### B. Push Pin Attachment Instead of using adhesive tape (which can fail under high heat), this model uses **Push Pins** with integrated springs. This provides: * **Constant Pressure:** Ensures the heat sink stays flush against the chip. * **Reliability:** Resistant to mechanical shock and vibration. * **Ease of Assembly:** Can be installed quickly on PCBs with pre-drilled holes. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C1" in the part number indicates it comes with **T766 phase-change material**. This eliminates the need for manual thermal paste application, ensuring a consistent and clean thermal bond between the component and the heat sink. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific part is typically found in hardware environments requiring active cooling, such as: * **Networking Equipment:** Routers, switches, and gateways. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and automation controllers. * **Power Electronics:** Cooling MOSFETs or small power modules. * **High-Speed Computing:** Cooling chipsets or FPGAs on a motherboard. ---
