The **ATS-06B-207-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the **pushPIN™** series, designed to provide efficient cooling for electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other high-heat surface-mount devices. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the key physical and thermal properties of this specific model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (Al6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Resistance** | 6.39 °C/W (at 100 LFM) to 2.13 °C/W (at 700 LFM) | | **Base Dimensions** | 60mm x 60mm | | **Height** | 25mm | | **Pitch** | Fine Pitch | | **Attachment Type** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | --- ## 2. Electronic Application & Function While the heat sink itself is a mechanical component, its "electronic" role is critical for circuit stability: * **Thermal Dissipation:** It increases the surface area of a heat-generating semiconductor, allowing for faster heat transfer into the surrounding air. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes with **T766** pre-applied, which is a high-performance thermal grease that fills microscopic air gaps between the chip and the heat sink. * **EMI Shielding:** In some configurations, the grounded metal mass of the aluminum heat sink can help reduce Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) emitted from high-frequency chips. --- ## 3. Mounting Mechanism (pushPIN™) The "B" in the part number indicates the attachment style. This system is preferred in electronics manufacturing because: 1. **Consistent Pressure:** The spring-loaded pins ensure a precise amount of force is applied to the chip, preventing damage while maximizing thermal contact. 2. **Tool-less Assembly:** It allows for quick installation on a PCB with pre-drilled holes. 3. **Vibration Resistance:** The compression springs absorb mechanical shocks, protecting the solder joints of the underlying electronic component. --- ## 4.
