The **ATS-01G-94-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "pushPIN™" series designed for thermal management of electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other high-heat integrated circuits. --- ## Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of the component: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40mm x 40mm x 25mm | | **Fin Pattern** | Straight | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance (Unducted)** | 4.49 °C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Thermal Resistance (Ducted)** | 1.45 °C/W @ 100 LFM | --- ## Key Electronic/Mechanical Features ### 1. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "R0" suffix indicates that this model comes with a **pre-applied thermal interface material (T766)**. This is a phase-change or high-performance grease applied to the base of the heat sink to ensure maximum heat transfer between the electronic chip and the aluminum fins. ### 2. pushPIN™ Attachment System Instead of using messy adhesives or permanent solder, this part uses a mechanical push-pin system. * **Springs:** Provides consistent pressure (clamping force) to optimize thermal contact. * **Reusability:** Allows for easy removal during PCB repair or component upgrades. ### 3. Fin Design (Straight Fin) The straight fin geometry is optimized for **forced air cooling**. It allows air from a cooling fan to flow through the channels with minimal resistance, effectively wicking heat away from the semiconductor die. ### 4. Blue Anodized Coating Beyond aesthetics, the blue anodized finish provides: * **Corrosion Resistance:** Protects the aluminum from oxidation. * **Electrical Insulation:** Adds a thin non-conductive layer to the surface (though the base remains highly conductive for heat). --- ## Applications * **Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs)** * **Digital Signal Processors (DSPs)** * **Network Switches and Routers** * **High-speed Power Supplies** ---
