The **ATS-06A-152-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the **push-pin** attachment series designed for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, and other high-heat integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 35mm x 35mm x 25mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight (Extrusion) | | **Attachment Type** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.32°C/W @ 200 LFM | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | --- ### 2. Key Design Elements #### A. Thermal Management The "C2" in the part number indicates a specific thermal performance profile. The straight-fin design is optimized for **forced air cooling** (airflow from a fan). The aluminum construction provides high thermal conductivity while remaining lightweight. #### B. Push-Pin Attachment Mechanism This part uses a tool-less attachment system: * **Push-Pins:** Plastic pins that snap into pre-drilled holes on the PCB. * **Compression Springs:** These provide consistent pressure between the heat sink and the electronic chip, ensuring maximum heat transfer. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "R0" suffix typically denotes the inclusion of a high-performance **pre-applied thermal tape** or phase-change material on the base of the heat sink, simplifying the assembly process. --- ### 3. Typical Applications * **Network Equipment:** Routers, switches, and bridges. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and controllers. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling voltage regulators or MOSFETs. * **Video Processing:** DSPs and high-speed encoding chips. ---
