The **ATS-06E-153-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the **push-pin** attachment series designed for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, and other high-heat integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 40mm x 40mm x 10mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Attachment Type** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ### 2. Key Features and Electronic Functionality #### A. Thermal Resistance The primary function of this part is to dissipate heat from electronic packages. Its efficiency is measured by thermal resistance (°C/W): * **High Airflow (200 LFM):** ~4.05 °C/W * **Low Airflow (Ducted):** Higher resistance, requiring active cooling for optimal performance. #### B. Attachment Mechanism The "C2" in the part number indicates the specific push-pin and spring combination. * **Push-Pins:** These provide a secure, vibration-resistant mount to the PCB. * **Springs:** Ensure constant, even pressure on the chip surface to maximize the effectiveness of the Thermal Interface Material (TIM). #### C. Thermal Interface Material (T766) The unit comes with **T766** pre-applied. This is a phase-change material that fills microscopic air gaps between the component and the heat sink, significantly reducing thermal impedance compared to a dry fit. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases The ATS-06E-153-C2-R0 is typically used in the following electronic environments: 1. **Networking Hardware:** Cooling ASICs in routers and switches. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Thermal management for industrial PC components. 3. **Power Supplies:** Dissipating heat from MOSFETs or voltage regulators. --- ### 4.
