The **ATS-01D-175-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 failure. --- ### Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of this specific part: | Characteristic | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 13.52°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 35.00mm x 35.00mm x 10.00mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Compliance** | RoHS Compliant | --- ### Key Electronic & Mechanical Features #### 1. pushPIN™ Attachment System Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, this model uses a **pushPIN™** mechanism. This is critical for electronics because: * **Reliability:** It provides consistent pressure on the component (TIM - Thermal Interface Material). * **Vibration Resistance:** It is more secure in high-vibration environments compared to tape. * **Pre-Assembled Springs:** The hardware is pre-assembled to ensure easy installation on PCBs with pre-drilled holes. #### 2. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "R0" designation typically implies the inclusion of a high-performance **Phase Change Material (PCM)** or a thermal pad pre-applied to the base. This fills microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the electronic chip, significantly lowering thermal resistance. #### 3. Airflow Efficiency The straight-fin design is optimized for **forced convection**. In an electronic enclosure, a fan blowing air through these fins allows for heat transfer from the aluminum surface to the surrounding environment. ### Common Applications * **Embedded Systems:** Microcontrollers and Small Form Factor (SFF) computers. * **Telecommunications:** Network switches and routers. * **Power Electronics:** Voltage regulators and high-speed motor drivers. ---
