The **ATS-03A-75-C3-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **push-pin style heat sink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. Below is a detailed breakdown of its specifications and electronic application. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part belongs to the **push-pin** series, designed for secure mechanical attachment to Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | | **Thermal Resistance** | 15.02°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40mm x 40mm x 10mm | | **Fin Pattern** | Straight Fin | --- ### 2. Physical Design & Construction * **The Body:** It is a low-profile heat sink (10mm height), making it ideal for compact electronic enclosures where vertical clearance is limited. * **The Base:** A flat aluminum base designed to make direct contact with the Heat-Generating Component (CPU, GPU, or MOSFET). * **The Fins:** Straight-cut fins allow for high-efficiency cooling in systems with consistent directional airflow. --- ### 3. Electronic Application This part is commonly used to protect sensitive electronic components from overheating. #### Typical Components Cooled: * **BGA (Ball Grid Array) Chips:** Processors, FPGAs, and ASICs. * **Power Electronics:** Voltage regulators and high-speed memory modules. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and networking switches. #### Installation Hardware: The **"75"** in the part number refers to the specific hole-to-hole spacing (in this case, typically for a specific PCB layout) and the **"C3"** indicates the spring and pin combination used to provide specific downward pressure (clamping force) on the electronic chip. --- ### 4. Thermal Performance Data Performance varies based on the airflow (Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Airflow Rate (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | **200 (1.0 m/s)** | 15.02 | | **400 (2.0 m/s)** | 6.22 | | **600 (3.0 m/s)** | 4.34 | ---
