The **ATS-06G-154-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "pushPIN™" series, designed specifically for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other high-heat-generating ICs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of this specific component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (Body) / Copper (optional base variations) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimension A (Length)** | 40.00 mm | | **Dimension B (Width)** | 40.00 mm | | **Dimension C (Height)** | 25.00 mm | | **Fin Pitch** | Fine-Pitch | | **Fin Type** | Straight | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic & Thermal Components The part is more than just a piece of metal; it is a thermal management system composed of three main parts: #### A. The Fin Array * **Design:** Uses a high-density fin structure to increase the surface area. * **Thermal Performance:** It is designed for **forced air** environments (where a fan is present). In a typical 200 LFM (Linear Feet per Minute) airflow, it offers a thermal resistance of approximately **2.20 °C/W**. #### B. The PushPIN™ Attachment * **Mechanism:** Instead of using messy adhesives or tapes, this part uses a mechanical push-pin with a built-in spring. * **Benefits:** It ensures constant, even pressure on the electronic chip, which optimizes the interface between the heat source and the sink. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) * **Pre-applied:** The "C2" in the part number indicates it comes with **T766** thermal phase change material. * **Function:** This fills the microscopic air gaps between the chip and the heat sink to ensure maximum heat transfer. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific heat sink size (40x40mm) is commonly used in: * **Networking Equipment:** Routers, switches, and base stations. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and controllers. * **Power Electronics:** Cooling MOSFETs or power modules. ---
