The **ATS-06D-77-C3-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™" series, designed for efficient cooling of integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronic components. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of this specific part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (LxWxH)** | 25mm x 25mm x 20mm | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 9.58 °C/W @ 100 LFM (undirected) | | **Fin Type** | Fine Pitch (Square Pattern) | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T412 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Features #### A. Attachment Mechanism (pushPIN™) The "pushPIN™" system is designed to provide a secure and reliable mechanical attachment to the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). It uses a flexible, spring-loaded mechanism that ensures consistent pressure between the heat sink and the electronic component, which is vital for optimal heat transfer. #### B. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part comes pre-applied with **T412**, a high-quality thermal grease/pad. This material fills the microscopic air gaps between the semiconductor surface and the heat sink base, significantly reducing thermal resistance. #### C. Fin Design The **Fine Pitch** pattern is optimized for modern electronics where airflow is often restricted. The square-cut fin geometry increases the surface area for heat dissipation while maintaining a low pressure drop. --- ### 3. Applications This specific heat sink is commonly used for cooling: * **ASICs and FPGAs:** High-speed processing units that generate localized heat. * **Voltage Regulators:** Power management components that convert high voltages. * **Networking Hardware:** Routers and switches requiring compact cooling solutions. ---
