The part number **ATS-06D-102-C2-R0** refers to a high-performance **Heatsink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of their "pushPIN™" series, designed for efficient heat dissipation in electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of this specific component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push Pin (Spring-loaded) | | **Fin Type** | Straight Fin (Pattern: Fine-Pitch) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 45mm x 45mm | | **Height** | 35mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 5.24°C/W (at 100 LFM) | --- ### 2. Design and Components The assembly consists of more than just a block of metal; it is an engineered thermal solution: * **Heat Sink Body:** A 45x45mm square aluminum base with vertical fins designed to maximize surface area for air cooling. * **Push Pins:** Made of nylon or brass, these pins provide the mechanical force necessary to secure the heatsink to the PCB. * **Compression Springs:** These ensure a consistent "force-to-load" ratio, ensuring the heatsink maintains optimal contact with the electronic chip. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This model typically comes with a pre-applied thermal pad (usually T766) on the base to fill microscopic air gaps between the component and the heatsink. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Metrics Thermal resistance indicates how effectively the part moves heat away from the component. Performance varies based on airflow (measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Airflow (LFM) | Velocity (m/s) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 100 | 0.5 | 5.24 | | 300 | 1.5 | 1.97 | | 500 | 2.5 | 1.48 | | 700 | 3.5 | 1.26 | --- ### 4.
