The **ATS-03B-64-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is part of the "push pin" series designed for cooling processors and other surface-mount components. ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table highlights the core physical and thermal characteristics of the part: | Characteristic | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (Al6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Brass) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40mm x 40mm x 25mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 9.39°C/W (Natural Convection) | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Design and Component Breakdown #### A. Fin Geometry (Straight Fin) This model utilizes **Straight Fins**, which are ideal for applications where the airflow direction is predictable. The high-density fin arrangement increases the surface area for heat dissipation, allowing for lower junction temperatures of the semiconductor. #### B. Mounting Hardware (The "Push-Pin") The electronic integration relies on a mechanical push-pin system. This consists of: * **Brass Pins:** Provide durable mechanical anchoring to the PCB. * **Compression Springs:** Ensure consistent downward pressure on the electronic component (FPGA, CPU, or ASIC). This pressure is critical to minimizing the air gap between the chip and the heat sink. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part comes with **T766** pre-applied to the base. * **Function:** It fills microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the electronic part. * **Benefit:** This reduces contact resistance, allowing heat to flow more efficiently into the aluminum fins. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific heat sink is typically found in the following electronic environments: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling high-speed networking chips. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Heat management for industrial PC processors. 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from MOSFET arrays or large voltage regulators. ---
