The **ATS-01F-02-C3-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. It belongs to the **pushPIN™** series, designed for efficient heat dissipation in compact electronic systems. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the core physical and thermal properties of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40.00mm x 40.00mm x 15.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance (Unducted)** | 18.25 °C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Thermal Resistance (Ducted)** | 2.80 °C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Pitch** | Fine Pitch | | **Pattern** | XC (Cross-Cut) | --- ### 2. Design and Engineering Features * **Cross-Cut (XC) Fin Design:** This heat sink uses a cross-cut pattern which increases surface area and allows for omnidirectional airflow. This makes it ideal for systems where the direction of the fan intake might vary. * **PushPIN™ Attachment:** Instead of messy adhesives or thermal tape, this part uses a mechanical push-pin system. This ensures consistent pressure across the interface for optimal thermal transfer and allows for easy removal/rework. * **AL6063 Aluminum:** This specific grade of aluminum offers a high thermal conductivity-to-weight ratio, ensuring the component is lightweight but effective at pulling heat away from the semiconductor. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** The part typically comes with pre-applied **T412** thermal grease or similar, which fills microscopic air gaps between the heat source and the heat sink. --- ### 3. Applications The ATS-01F-02-C3-R0 is commonly used to cool the following types of electronic components: 1. **CPUs / GPUs:** Low-power or mobile processors. 2. **FPGAs:** Field Programmable Gate Arrays that generate significant localized heat. 3. **Power MOSFETs:** High-speed switching components in power supplies. 4. **Telecommunications Equipment:** Routers and switches where vertical space is limited (15mm height). ---
