The **ATS-06A-29-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 "pushPIN™" family, designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of the part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded pins) | | **Dimensions** | 70mm x 70mm x 20mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 7.57 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Flow Orientation** | Straight Fin | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Design & Components The "electronic" functionality of this part is passive, focusing on heat dissipation to prevent semiconductor failure. * **Fin Profile:** It uses a **Straight Fin** design, which is optimized for high-velocity airflow environments (active cooling with fans). * **Push-Pin Mechanism:** The part utilizes a brass or plastic push-pin with a stainless steel spring. This ensures consistent pressure across the component surface, which is critical for maximizing heat transfer efficiency. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** The bottom of the heat sink is pre-coated with **T766**, a high-performance thermal grease. This fills microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the electronic chip. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Metrics Thermal resistance indicates how effectively the part moves heat away from the electronics. Lower values are better for high-power applications. | Air Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 (0.5 m/s) | 7.57 | | 300 (1.5 m/s) | 1.70 | | 500 (2.5 m/s) | 1.01 | --- ### 4.
