The part number **ATS-06E-147-C2-R0** refers to a high-performance **heat sink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of their "Blue" series, designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Product Type** | Heat Sink | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 30.00mm x 30.00mm x 10.00mm | | **Fin Style** | XC-Cut (Cross-Cut) | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ | | **Thermal Resistance** | 13.52°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Pressure Drop** | 0.22 (at 100 LFM) | --- ### 2. Design Characteristics This heat sink is engineered for versatility and high efficiency in tight spaces. * **XC-Cut Fin Pattern:** The fins are designed with a cross-cut pattern. This allows for multi-directional airflow, making it effective even if the air direction in the chassis is not perfectly aligned with the heat sink. * **pushPIN™ Attachment:** It features a spring-loaded attachment mechanism. This ensures constant pressure (load) on the component being cooled, which improves thermal transfer and simplifies installation. * **Material Choice:** Aluminum provides a balance between lightweight construction and high thermal conductivity. The blue anodized finish protects the aluminum from corrosion and slightly improves emissivity. --- ### 3. Usage Context In a typical PCB layout, this part is used to manage heat for medium-sized chips. * **Target Components:** High-speed RAM, small FPGAs, or power management ICs. * **Thermal Interface:** To be effective, this part requires a **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)**, such as a thermal pad or paste, to bridge the gap between the chip and the aluminum base. * **Airflow Requirement:** While it can work in passive setups, its performance is optimized for systems with active cooling (fans). --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown The nomenclature can be interpreted as follows: * **ATS:** Advanced Thermal Solutions (Manufacturer). * **06:** Series/Type. * **147:** Specific model/fin configuration. * **C2:** Material/Finish code (Blue Anodized). * **R0:** Revision/RoHS compliance status.
