The **ATS-06G-76-C3-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heatsink** designed by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is part of the "push pin" series, typically used for cooling integrated circuits (ICs) like BGA (Ball Grid Array) components. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table highlights the core physical and thermal properties of this specific part number: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push Pin (Plastic/Brass) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | | **Thermal Resistance** | 27.40 °C/W (Unducted Flow @ 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 25mm x 25mm x 15mm | | **Fin Pattern** | Square Pin Fin | --- ### 2. Design Features The "C3" in the part number signifies specific configuration options, often relating to the spring and pin material. * **Pin Fin Geometry:** Unlike traditional straight-fin heatsinks, this model uses a square pin-fin array. This design increases surface area and promotes turbulence, which is highly efficient for cooling in environments where the direction of airflow might vary. * **Push Pin Attachment:** This mechanical attachment provides a secure, consistent pressure on the heat source. It requires pre-drilled holes in the PCB. * **Interface Material:** These units usually come with a pre-applied **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** or a "chomerics" pad on the base to ensure there are no air gaps between the chip and the aluminum. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific size (25mm x 25mm) is common in the following electronic sectors: 1. **Networking:** Cooling small processors in routers and switches. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and controllers where space is limited. 3. **Power Supplies:** Heat dissipation for MOSFETs or small power modules. 4. **Telecommunications:** Thermal management for high-speed signal processors. --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown The ATS numbering system provides specific data about the build: * **ATS-06:** Series identifier (Push-pin). * **G:** Material/Fin type. * **76:** Specific size/footprint code. * **C3:** Specific kit (usually indicates blue anodizing and specific spring tension). * **R0:** Revision code. ---
