The **ATS-01H-38-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink**, manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature that defines its physical and thermal characteristics: | Feature | Specification | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Heat Sink | Passive cooling device | | **Material** | Aluminum | High thermal conductivity & lightweight | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | Maximizes airflow through the device | | **Dimensions** | 36.83mm x 36.83mm | Base dimensions (Width x Length) | | **Height** | 22.86mm | Profile height | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ | Spring-loaded plastic or brass pins | | **Thermal Interface** | T766 | Pre-applied Thermal Interface Material (TIM) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | Increases surface emissivity and corrosion resistance | --- ### 2. Key Design Features #### A. pushPIN™ Attachment System This part uses a specialized attachment mechanism designed for quick assembly. It features a flexible spring that provides precise pressure to ensure optimal contact between the heat sink and the electronic component, reducing thermal resistance. #### B. Material and Finish * **Aluminum 6063:** Chosen for its balance of thermal performance and structural integrity. * **Blue Anodizing:** This is not just for aesthetics; the anodized layer increases the surface's emissivity, helping slightly with radiative heat transfer, while protecting the aluminum from oxidation. #### C. Thermal Performance This heat sink is optimized for **forced air** environments (using a fan). * **Low Pressure Drop:** The straight fin design allows air to pass through with minimal resistance. * **Thermal Resistance:** It is designed to keep the junction temperature of a chip within safe operating limits by efficiently moving heat from the base to the fins. --- ### 3. Application Use-Cases The ATS-01H-38-C2-R0 is commonly found in: * **Networking Equipment:** Routers and switches. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and controllers. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or power regulators. * **Telecommunications:** Base station electronics. ---
