(ATS) | | **Base Dimensions** | 30.00mm x 30.00mm | | **Height** | 15.00mm | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Brass) with Compression Spring | | **Thermal Resistance** | ~11.75°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Fin Style** | Straight | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Components & Features The ATS-06F-142-C1-R0 consists of several sub-components that work together to manage thermal energy: #### A. The Heat Sink Body * **Material:** Made of high-grade aluminum. It absorbs heat from the electronic component (Source) and dissipates it into the surrounding air. * **Fin Configuration:** The straight-fin design is optimized for environments with high airflow (forced convection), allowing air to pass through the channels efficiently. #### B. The Attachment System (Push-Pins) * **Hardware:** Uses two brass push-pins. * **Springs:** Compression springs ensure constant, uniform pressure between the heat sink and the electronic chip, which is critical for maximizing thermal transfer. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) * **Pre-Applied:** This specific model typically comes with **ATS-PPS-06** (or similar) thermal tape or grease pre-applied to the base. * **Function:** It fills microscopic air gaps between the chip surface and the heat sink base to lower thermal resistance. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This part is commonly found in the following electronic systems: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling of networking switches and routers. 2. **Embedded Systems:** For industrial PCs and motherboards. 3. **Power Supplies:** Managing heat in MOSFETs or voltage regulators. --- ### 4.
