The **ATS-01E-29-C2-R0** is a specific electronic component manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is a high-performance **Heat Sink** designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or power transistors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature used by ATS to describe its physical and thermal properties. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Product Type** | Heat Sink | | **Series** | blueICE™ / pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 20mm | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Plastic Pins & Springs) | | **Thermal Resistance** | ~7.57°C/W (Unducted @ 100 LFM) | | **Thermal Interface Material** | T766 (High Performance) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Functions While the heat sink itself is passive (no electricity flows through it), it is critical for the survival of active electronic parts: * **Thermal Management:** It increases the surface area of the component it is mounted on, allowing heat to dissipate into the surrounding air via convection. * **Protection:** By maintaining the junction temperature ($T_j$) of a semiconductor below its maximum limit, it prevents **Thermal Throttling** or permanent **Thermal Runaway**. * **Attachment Efficiency:** The `pushPIN™` system ensures a consistent and specific pressure (clamping force) on the electronic chip, which optimizes the contact with the Thermal Interface Material (TIM). --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific model is commonly used in: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling of networking chips. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and controllers. 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from high-wattage voltage regulators. --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown (Nomenclature) The suffix codes provide detail on the configuration: * **-29:** Refers to the specific fin pattern and height. * **-C2:** Indicates the material and finish (typically Aluminum with a Blue Anodize). * **-R0:** Refers to the version or revision of the assembly kit (includes the specific spring and pin type).
