The **ATS-06G-30-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically an **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) push-pin heatsink**. It is designed to dissipate heat from surface-mount components like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of this specific part number: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | | **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** | T766 (Pre-applied) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45.00mm x 45.00mm x 25.00mm | | **Fin Style** | Fine Pitch (straight fin) | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number Electronic engineers use a specific nomenclature to identify the features of these parts: * **ATS**: Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **06**: Series identifier (typically related to fin geometry). * **G**: Material/Attachment code (Push-pin style). * **30**: Fin height (in mm or a specific design code). * **C2**: Thermal Performance Class/Material Grade. * **R0**: Revision or RoHS compliance indicator. --- ### 3. Key Electronic Functions While the heatsink itself is passive, its role in an electronic assembly is critical for reliability: 1. **Thermal Dissipation**: It increases the surface area of the component it is mounted on, allowing air (forced or natural convection) to carry away heat. 2. **Thermal Interface**: The pre-applied **T766** phase-change material ensures there are no air gaps between the electronic component (IC) and the aluminum base, maximizing heat transfer. 3. **Mechanical Stability**: The push-pin mechanism provides consistent pressure across the component. This prevents the heatsink from shifting during vibration and ensures the TIM remains effective over the product's lifespan. --- ### 4. Application Use-Case This part is commonly found in: * **Telecommunications**: Cooling high-speed signal processors. * **Embedded Systems**: Managing heat in industrial PC boards. * **Power Electronics**: Cooling voltage regulators or power modules.
