The **ATS-06G-70-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. It belongs to the **pushPIN™** series, designed for efficient cooling of integrated circuits (ICs) like processors, FPGAs, and ASICs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number contains specific encoded data regarding its dimensions and material properties: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 8.70 °C/W (Unducted @ 100 LFM) | | **Base Dimensions** | 45mm x 45mm | | **Height** | 25mm | | **Pitch** | Fine Pitch | --- ### 2. Physical Design Details The device is engineered for maximum surface area while maintaining a compact footprint on the PCB. * **Fin Pattern:** It utilizes a high-density fin structure to increase the surface area available for heat dissipation. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes pre-applied with **T766**, a high-performance thermal grease, ensuring low thermal resistance between the component and the heat sink. * **Compression Springs:** The pushPIN™ mechanism uses stainless steel or brass springs to provide a specific, consistent pressure (preload) onto the component, preventing air gaps. --- ### 3. Electronic Application This part is used in electronics to prevent **Thermal Throttling** or hardware failure. * **Heat Dissipation:** It absorbs heat from the silicon die via conduction and releases it into the surrounding air via convection. * **Compatibility:** Designed for PCB holes with a specific diameter (usually 3.175mm) to accommodate the push-pins. * **Airflow Direction:** The "G" in the part number often indicates a specific fin orientation optimized for vertical or horizontal airflow depending on the system chassis design. --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown The nomenclature can be decoded as follows: * **ATS:** Advanced Thermal Solutions (Manufacturer). * **06:** Series/Type. * **G:** Fin pattern/Profile. * **70:** Dimensions code. * **C2:** Thermal performance/TIM type. * **R0:** RoHS Compliance/Revision status.
