The **ATS-01F-102-C3-R0** is a high-performance **heat sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed specifically for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, or power modules that generate significant heat during operation. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of this specific model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Part Number** | ATS-01F-102-C3-R0 | | **Material** | Aluminum (Al) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Thermal Resistance** | 5.30°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45.00mm x 45.00mm x 25.00mm | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **TIM (Interface Material)** | T412 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Components & Design Features #### A. The Heat Sink Body * **Material:** It is made from high-grade aluminum. Aluminum is chosen for its excellent thermal conductivity-to-weight ratio. * **Geometry:** The "Straight Fin" design allows for low pressure drop, making it ideal for systems with standard airflow (fans). * **Finish:** The blue anodized coating is not just for aesthetics; it provides corrosion resistance and increases surface emissivity, slightly improving radiative cooling. #### B. Attachment Mechanism (Push-Pins) * The **"R0"** in the part number indicates the specific mounting hardware. * It uses a **Push-pin and Spring** assembly. This ensures consistent "mating pressure" between the heat sink and the electronic chip, which is critical for maximizing heat transfer. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) * This model comes with **T412** pre-applied to the base. * The TIM fills microscopic air gaps between the chip surface and the heat sink base, significantly reducing thermal resistance at the contact point. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases The ATS-01F-102-C3-R0 is typically found in: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling high-speed switching silicon. 2. **Embedded Systems:** For industrial PCs where space is limited but heat density is high. 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from MOSFETs or IGBT arrays. ---
