The **ATS-01D-71-C3-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically an aluminum pin-fin heat sink designed for cooling integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronic packages. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of this specific part: | Characteristic | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 6.77°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 45.00mm x 45.00mm | | **Height** | 30.00mm | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T412 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Design Breakdown #### A. Pin-Fin Geometry Unlike traditional straight-fin heat sinks, the pin-fin design allows for **omnidirectional airflow**. This is critical in electronics where the direction of the cooling fan's exhaust might be unpredictable or restricted. It increases surface area and promotes turbulence, which improves heat dissipation. #### B. pushPIN™ Attachment System This part utilizes a specific mechanical attachment mechanism: * **Compression Springs:** Ensure consistent pressure (clamped force) across the component for maximum heat transfer. * **Plastic/Brass Push Pins:** Secure the heat sink directly into pre-drilled holes on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C3" in the part number refers to the use of **T412 thermal tape/grease**. This material fills the microscopic air gaps between the heat sink base and the electronic component (CPU/GPU/FPGA), significantly reducing contact resistance. --- ### 3. Applications The ATS-01D-71-C3-R0 is typically used in the following environments: * **Telecommunications:** High-speed routers and switches. * **Embedded Computing:** Industrial PC boards and controllers. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or power transistors. ---
