Key Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded pins) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 6.81°C/W @ 100 LFM (undirected) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 54.00mm x 35.00mm | | **Height (Fin Profile)** | 22.86mm | | **Fin Pitch** | Coarse-Pitch | --- ### 2. Physical Design and Components The part is engineered to maximize surface area for heat dissipation while maintaining a secure mechanical connection to the PCB. * **Fin Structure:** It utilizes a **Straight Fin** design with a **Coarse-Pitch** configuration. This is ideal for applications where airflow is moderate but constant, allowing air to pass through the fins with lower pressure drop. * **Base Material:** Made from lightweight **Aluminum** (Al6063), which offers excellent thermal conductivity and durability. * **Surface Treatment:** The **Blue Anodized** finish provides a protective layer against corrosion and slightly improves radiative heat transfer. --- ### 3. The pushPIN™ Attachment System One of the defining "electronic parts" of this assembly is the mounting hardware: 1. **Push Pins:** Made of brass or plastic, these pins snap into pre-drilled holes in the PCB. 2. **Compression Springs:** These ensure a precise and consistent downward force (pressure) on the electronic component (CPU, GPU, or FPGA). 3. **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This part usually comes pre-applied with **T766** (a high-performance thermal grease) on the base to ensure there are no air gaps between the heat sink and the chip. --- ### 4. Application Use Cases The ATS-P1-34-C3-R0 is typically used in: * **Networking Equipment:** Routers, switches, and base stations. * **Industrial Computing:** Embedded systems and single-board computers. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or power regulators that generate significant heat during operation.
