The **ATS-01F-03-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc.* It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or power transistors to prevent thermal throttling or failure. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of this specific part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. | | **Part Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40mm x 40mm x 15mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 15.85°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Weight** | ~45 grams | --- ## 2. Key Electronic Features ### A. pushPIN™ Design The "01F" designation refers to the specific attachment mechanism. This heat sink uses a flexible **push-pin** system with a compression spring. This ensures: * **Constant Pressure:** Even contact across the electronic component surface. * **Quick Assembly:** No need for complex tools or adhesive tapes. ### B. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C2" suffix typically indicates that the part comes pre-applied with a high-performance **Thermal Interface Material**. In electronic terms, this acts as the bridge that fills microscopic air gaps between the heat-generating silicon chip and the aluminum heat sink, significantly lowering thermal resistance. ### C. Fin Profile The heat sink features a **Straight Fin** geometry. In electronics, this is optimized for "forced air" cooling (i.e., when a fan is blowing directly across the fins). The spacing is calculated to maximize surface area while minimizing pressure drop. --- ## 3. Usage Context This part is commonly found in the following electronic environments: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling signal processors in routers and switches. 2. **Embedded Computing:** Protecting industrial PC components. 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from MOSFETs or voltage regulators.
