The **ATS-06G-91-C3-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature that defines its physical and thermal properties: | Feature | Specification | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions | Leading provider of thermal management solutions. | | **Material** | Aluminum | High thermal conductivity and lightweight. | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | Protects against corrosion and improves emissivity. | | **Attachment** | push-PIN™ | Spring-loaded pins for secure mounting to a PCB. | | **Dimensions** | 40mm x 40mm x 10mm | Square footprint with a low-profile height. | | **Fin Type** | Straight Fin | Optimizes airflow in unidirectional cooling systems. | | **Thermal Resistance** | Variable | Varies based on airflow (LFM). | --- ### 2. Key Components & Design The "electronic" nature of this part refers to its integration into PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) design: * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes with **T412** phase-change material or an equivalent pre-applied adhesive, ensuring maximum heat transfer between the chip and the sink. * **Push-Pin Mounting:** Unlike simple adhesive sinks, this uses a mechanical push-pin system with a stainless steel spring. This provides consistent pressure (load) on the electronic component, which is critical for maintaining thermal contact over time. * **Fin Geometry:** The straight-fin design is engineered for **forced air cooling** (fans). The spacing between fins is calculated to minimize pressure drop while maximizing surface area. --- ### 3. Applications This part is commonly found in the following electronic systems: * **Networking Hardware:** Routers, switches, and gateways. * **Industrial PCs:** Compact motherboards where vertical space is limited (10mm height). * **Embedded Systems:** Cooling for FPGA or ASIC chips that generate significant heat in a small footprint. ---
