The **ATS-06A-49-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. It belongs to the **maxiFLOW™** series, designed specifically for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other high-heat integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the physical and thermal properties of this specific model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (with Blue Anodized finish) | | **Dimensions** | 54.00mm x 54.00mm x 15.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.63 °C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Airflow Direction** | Horizontal (Fin configuration) | | **Series** | maxiFLOW™ | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Features #### A. Thermal Management (Conduction & Convection) The primary role of this part is to dissipate heat from electronic semiconductors. The "maxiFLOW" design features a flared fin geometry which increases the surface area for air-to-fin heat transfer. This reduces the junction temperature of the electronic component, preventing thermal throttling or hardware failure. #### B. pushPIN™ Attachment System Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, the **R0** suffix indicates a pushPIN™ mounting system. * **Mechanical Stability:** Uses a brass or plastic pin with a high-tension spring. * **Uniform Pressure:** Ensures consistent contact between the heat sink base and the electronic chip for optimal thermal interface material (TIM) performance. * **Reusability:** Allows for easy removal and re-installation without damaging the PCB. #### C. Material Composition * **Aluminum 6063:** Chosen for its high thermal conductivity and lightweight properties. * **Anodization:** The blue anodized coating provides a protective layer against corrosion and slightly improves radiant heat emission. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This component is typically found in high-reliability electronic systems: 1. **Networking Equipment:** High-speed routers and switches. 2. **Industrial PCs:** Boards requiring passive or semi-active cooling in harsh environments. 3. **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or power conversion modules.
