The **ATS-06G-102-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is part of the "push pin" series designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of this specific model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Base Dimensions** | 45mm x 45mm | | **Height** | 25mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Thermal Resistance** | 1.83°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Pressure Spring** | Stainless Steel | --- ### 2. Electronic/Mechanical Functionality The electronic relevance of this part lies in its ability to prevent **Thermal Throttling** and **Component Failure**. * **Heat Dissipation:** It increases the surface area of a semiconductor package, allowing heat to transfer more efficiently into the surrounding air. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This model typically comes with **T766** pre-applied thermal phase-change material on the base, ensuring there are no air gaps between the chip and the heat sink. * **Push-Pin Mounting:** Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, the push-pin mechanism provides consistent pressure against the electronic chip, which is critical for maintaining a stable thermal path during vibration or thermal expansion. --- ### 3. Key Components 1. **The Fin Array:** The 25mm height and straight fin design are optimized for "forced air" environments (where a fan is present). 2. **The Base:** A flat, 45mm x 45mm surface that makes direct contact with the electronic component. 3. **The Fastener:** Uses a plastic push-pin with a specific spring rate to ensure the heat sink does not crush the delicate silicon die but stays firmly attached to the PCB. --- ### 4. Application Use-Case * **Embedded Systems:** Used on ARM or x86 processors in industrial PCs. * **Power Electronics:** Cooling MOSFET or IGBT modules. * **Networking:** Cooling ASICs inside routers and switches.
