The **ATS-06G-25-C2-R0** is a specific high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of their "Push-PIN" series designed for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, and other high-heat-generating ICs (Integrated Circuits). ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of the component: | Feature | Specification | |:---|:---| | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-06G-25-C2-R0 | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | | **Dimensions** | 25mm x 25mm x 20mm | --- ### 2. Design Characteristics This heat sink is engineered for optimal airflow efficiency within compact electronic enclosures: * **Fine Pitch Fins:** The "G" in the part number often refers to the specific fin pattern (Cross-cut), which allows for airflow from multiple directions, making it ideal for systems with unpredictable air patterns. * **Blue Anodized Coating:** Beyond aesthetics, the anodization protects the aluminum from corrosion and slightly improves surface emissivity for better radiant heat transfer. * **Integrated TIM:** The unit comes with **T766 thermal phase-change material** pre-applied to the base. This ensures a low thermal resistance path between the electronic chip and the heat sink without needing separate thermal paste. --- ### 3. Mounting System The **Push-Pin and Spring** mechanism provides several advantages for PCB assembly: 1. **Consistent Pressure:** The springs ensure that a precise amount of downward force is applied to the chip, preventing damage while maximizing thermal contact. 2. **Ease of Installation:** It requires pre-drilled holes in the PCB (typically 3mm or 3.2mm). The pins "snap" into place, reducing assembly time on a production line. 3. **Vibration Resistance:** Unlike simple adhesive tapes, the mechanical fastening is secure against shocks and high-vibration environments. --- ### 4. Thermal Performance The performance of this heat sink depends on the airflow (Measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Airflow (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | |:---|:---| | **200 LFM** | ~6.30 | | **400 LFM** | ~4.10 | | **600 LFM** | ~3.40 | ---
