The **ATS-06F-175-C3-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "push pin" series designed for thermal management of electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and power modules. ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Attachment Method** | Push Pin (Brass) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 35mm x 35mm x 10mm | | **Fin Style** | XCUT (Cross-cut) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 13.63°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Thermal Interface Material** | T412 (Phase-change material) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | --- ### 2. Key Components & Design Features #### A. XCUT Fin Pattern Unlike traditional straight-fin heat sinks, this part uses an **XCUT** (cross-cut) design. This allows for: * **Omnidirectional Airflow:** It can receive cooling air from any direction, making it ideal for systems where the airflow path is unpredictable. * **Increased Surface Area:** The "pin-like" structure created by cross-cutting increases the area available for heat dissipation. #### B. Push Pin Attachment The **"06F"** in the part number denotes the specific push pin and spring assembly. * **Mechanical Stability:** Provides consistent pressure on the heat source to ensure optimal thermal contact. * **Ease of Assembly:** Can be installed manually or via automated equipment into pre-drilled holes on a PCB. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The unit comes pre-applied with **T412**. This is a high-performance thermal pad or phase-change material that fills microscopic air gaps between the component and the heat sink base, significantly reducing thermal impedance. --- ### 3. Thermal Performance Summary Thermal resistance (measured in °C/W) decreases as airflow (measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM) increases: | Air Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 (0.5 m/s) | 13.63 | | 200 (1.0 m/s) | 7.63 | | 400 (2.0 m/s) | 4.63 | | 600 (3.0 m/s) | 3.51 | --- ### 4.
