The **ATS-01A-66-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component. Specifically, it is a **Heat Sink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**, belonging to the **maxiFLOW™** series. Below is a detailed breakdown of its specifications and electronic application characteristics. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Series** | maxiFLOW™ | | **Base Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 5.77°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 40mm x 25mm | | **Compliance** | RoHS Compliant | --- ### 2. Physical Design & Cooling Mechanism The "66" in the part number refers to a specific fin pattern and height configuration within the ATS catalog. * **Fin Profile:** It utilizes the **maxiFLOW™** design, which features a spread fin structure. This increases the surface area for heat dissipation while reducing pressure drop, making it highly efficient for forced-air environments. * **Push-Pin Mounting:** This part uses the **pushPIN™** attachment system. Unlike adhesive tapes, this provides a consistent, high-pressure interface between the heat sink and the electronic component (like a CPU or FPGA), ensuring better thermal transfer. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** It typically comes pre-applied with **T766** (a high-performance thermal phase-change material) to fill microscopic air gaps between the chip and the aluminum base. --- ### 3. Application in Electronics This component is designed to protect sensitive semiconductor devices from thermal throttling or failure. Common applications include: 1. **High-Speed Processors:** Cooling for CPUs and GPUs in industrial computing. 2. **FPGAs & ASICs:** Managing heat in telecommunications equipment and data routers. 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from large MOSFETs or IGBT modules. 4. **Embedded Systems:** Used in compact enclosures where airflow is directed but space is limited. --- ### 4. Thermal Performance Comparison *Thermal resistance indicates how well the part moves heat away from the electronics. Lower values are better.* | Airflow Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 200 (1.0 m/s) | 5.77 | | 400 (2.0 m/s) | 4.69 | | 600 (3.0 m/s) | 4.11 |
