The part number **ATS-06D-76-C3-R0** refers to a high-performance **Heatsink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of their "push pin" attachment series, designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power semiconductors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (Al6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Resistance** | 11.84°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Flow Pattern** | Straight Fin | | **Attachment Type** | Push-Pin (Brass) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T412 (Double-sided thermal tape) | --- ### 2. Physical Dimensions Precision measurements are critical for PCB layout and clearance: * **Width/Length:** 25mm x 25mm * **Height:** 10mm * **Pitch (between pins):** 30mm --- ### 3. Key Electronic/Mechanical Functions ### A. Thermal Management The primary role of this part is to increase the surface area of an electronic component, allowing heat to dissipate more efficiently into the surrounding air. The **Straight Fin** design is optimized for environments with a steady, unidirectional airflow. ### B. Material and Coating * **Aluminum 6063:** Chosen for its high thermal conductivity and lightweight properties. * **Blue Anodizing:** This is not just aesthetic; the anodized layer provides electrical insulation and improves surface emissivity, aiding in heat radiation. ### C. Attachment Mechanism (Push-Pins) Unlike adhesive-only heatsinks, the **R0** designation indicates a push-pin assembly. * **Reliability:** Mechanical pins ensure constant pressure on the chip, which improves the effectiveness of the Thermal Interface Material (TIM). * **Vibration Resistance:** This mounting style is preferred for industrial or automotive applications where vibration might cause adhesive-only heatsinks to fall off. --- ### 4.
