The **ATS-02A-67-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically an **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) Heatsink**. It is part of the blueHOLE™ series designed for high-velocity airflow environments. ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the primary physical and thermal characteristics of this part: | Characteristic | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. | | **Series** | blueHOLE™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Fin Type** | Cross-Cut (Pin Fin) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (with Compression Springs) | | **Dimensions** | 45mm x 45mm x 10mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 20.30°C/W (Unducted @ 200 LFM) | | **Thermal Interface Material** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Design Features #### A. Cross-Cut Fin Geometry Unlike standard straight-fin heatsinks, the ATS-02A-67-C2-R0 utilizes a **cross-cut** or "pin fin" design. This allows for: * **Omnidirectional Airflow:** Air can enter or exit the fin array from multiple directions, making it less sensitive to the orientation of the cooling fan. * **Turbulence Induction:** The breaks in the fins disrupt laminar flow, increasing the heat transfer coefficient. #### B. Push-Pin Attachment Mechanism This part uses a standardized **Push-Pin** mounting system with built-in springs. * **Constant Pressure:** Ensures the heatsink maintains optimal contact with the semiconductor (CPU/GPU/FPGA) despite vibration or thermal expansion. * **Ease of Assembly:** Can be installed manually without complex tooling, provided the PCB has pre-drilled holes (typically 3.0mm diameter). #### C. Pre-applied Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The unit comes with **T766** material already applied to the base. This eliminates the need for manual thermal paste application, reducing assembly time and ensuring a uniform thin bond line for maximum heat dissipation. --- ### 3. Electronic Application Use-Cases The ATS-02A-67-C2-R0 is typically used to cool the following types of integrated circuits: 1. **High-Speed Networking Chips:** Switches and routers where high airflow is present. 2. **FPGA/ASIC Processors:** Custom silicon requiring precise thermal management. 3. **Power Electronics:** Voltage regulator modules (VRMs) that generate significant localized heat. ---
