The **ATS-60001-C1-R0** is a specialized high-performance heat sink component manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "maxiFLOW™" product line, designed specifically for cooling high-heat-generating electronic components like BGAs (Ball Grid Arrays). --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of the part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum (typically Black Anodized) | | **Attachment Method** | maxiGRIP™ (Spring-clip system) | | **Thermal Resistance** | ~1.60 °C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 40.00mm x 40.00mm | | **Height** | 9.50mm | | **Fin Style** | Tapered Fin (maxiFLOW™) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic & Mechanical Features #### A. maxiFLOW™ Fin Geometry The "maxiFLOW" design features a flared fin structure. This geometry is engineered to: * Maximize surface area for radiant and convective heat transfer. * Reduce pressure drop across the heat sink. * Increase airflow intake from multiple directions, which is critical in dense PCB environments. #### B. maxiGRIP™ Attachment System This part utilizes a unique mechanical attachment system rather than thermal adhesive. It consists of: 1. **Plastic Frame Clip:** Reaches around the component to the underside. 2. **Steady Drive™ Spring:** Applies a consistent, high-pressure force to the center of the heat sink. * *Benefit:* This prevents "thermal tilt" and ensures a uniform interface with the thermal grease or pad without requiring holes in the PCB. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "R0" suffix typically denotes that the part comes with a pre-applied high-performance thermal interface material. This ensures low contact resistance between the electronic chip (CPU/FPGA/ASIC) and the aluminum base. --- ### 3. Common Applications This heat sink is typically found in high-reliability electronic systems where space is limited but heat output is high: * **Networking Gear:** Routers, switches, and base stations. * **Embedded Computing:** Industrial motherboards and Single Board Computers (SBCs). * **Telecommunications:** Optical modules and high-speed data processing units. ---
