The **ATS-06G-20-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. It belongs to the "push pin" attachment series designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number provides specific data regarding its physical and thermal characteristics: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Heat Sink Type** | Push Pin | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Thermal Resistance** | 7.14°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions** | 45mm x 45mm x 25mm | | **Attachment Method** | Push Pin with Brass Spring | --- ### 2. Physical Design & Construction * **Straight Fin Geometry:** The fins are arranged in a parallel line configuration. This is ideal for systems with directed airflow (forced convection), as it allows air to pass through the length of the sink with minimal pressure drop. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** The surface treatment is not just for aesthetics; anodizing increases the surface emissivity, slightly improving radiation heat transfer and protecting the aluminum from corrosion. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes pre-applied with **T766**, a high-performance phase-change material that ensures air gaps between the component and the heat sink are filled for maximum heat transfer. --- ### 3. Attachment Mechanism: The Push Pin The "R0" designation refers to the attachment kit. This system uses a **Plastic Push Pin** and a **Brass Spring**: 1. **Pressure:** The spring provides a consistent, high-tension downward force to ensure the base of the heat sink stays in contact with the electronic chip. 2. **Ease of Assembly:** It is designed for quick installation into pre-drilled holes on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). 3. **Mechanical Stability:** Unlike adhesive tapes, push pins provide a mechanical lock that is resistant to vibration and thermal expansion/contraction. --- ### 4. Typical Applications This heat sink is commonly found in: * **Telecommunications:** Cooling of high-speed network switches. * **Industrial PC (IPC):** Managing heat in embedded processors. * **Power Supplies:** Heat dissipation for MOSFETs and Voltage Regulators.
