The **ATS-02F-70-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heatsink** designed for cooling integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronic packages. It is manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)* as part of their "pushPIN™" series. --- ### Technical Specifications The table below highlights the key physical and thermal characteristics of the part: | Characteristic | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 45mm x 45mm | | **Height** | 25mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 8.70°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Spring Type** | ATS-PPS-02 | --- ### Key Electronic & Mechanical Features #### 1. Push-Pin Attachment Mechanism Unlike adhesive-based heatsinks, the `ATS-02F-70-C2-R0` uses a mechanical push-pin system. This provides: * **Constant Pressure:** Ensures a reliable interface between the heatsink and the electronic chip for optimal heat transfer. * **Ease of Assembly:** Can be installed manually or via automated assembly lines. * **Maintenance:** Can be removed for chip inspection or replacement without damaging the PCB. #### 2. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part typically comes pre-applied with **T766** phase-change material or similar high-performance thermal grease. This fills the microscopic air gaps between the component and the heatsink, significantly reducing thermal impedance. #### 3. Airflow Efficiency The **straight-fin design** is optimized for "ducted" or "semi-ducted" airflow. It is highly effective in systems where a cooling fan provides a consistent directional breeze across the PCB. --- ### Common Applications This heatsink is generally found in high-reliability industrial and networking electronics, including: * **Network Switches and Routers:** Cooling ASICs and FPGAs. * **Power Supplies:** Managing heat for MOSFETs or power ICs. * **Embedded Systems:** Protecting CPUs in industrial automation controllers. ---
