The **ATS-01B-12-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 power transistors to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the key physical and thermal characteristics of this specific part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 50.00mm x 50.00mm x 15.00mm | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded pins) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 15.84° C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Thermal Interface Material** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Components & Design Features #### A. Fin Profile (Straight Fin) The "12" in the part number refers to the fin configuration. This model uses a **Straight Fin** design, which provides a large surface area for air to pass through. This is ideal for systems with a consistent direction of airflow (forced convection). #### B. pushPIN™ Attachment Mechanism Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, the ATS-01B-12-C2-R0 uses a mechanical **pushPIN™** system. This consists of: * **Compression Springs:** Ensure constant pressure on the electronic component (IC/Chip), maximizing heat transfer. * **Plastic/Brass Pins:** Inserted into pre-drilled holes in the PCB to lock the heat sink in place securely. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The base comes pre-applied with **T766**. This is a specialized paste or pad that fills microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the electronic chip, significantly reducing thermal resistance compared to dry mounting. #### D. Blue Anodized Finish The blue coating is not just for aesthetics. **Anodization** increases the emissivity of the aluminum surface, slightly improving heat dissipation via radiation, and provides a layer of electrical insulation and corrosion resistance. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This part is commonly found in the following electronic environments: * **Telecommunications:** Cooling high-speed processors in routers and switches. * **Industrial PCs:** Managing heat in fanless or high-airflow enclosures. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling voltage regulators or MOSFETs that generate significant heat during power conversion.
