The **ATS-06H-97-C2-R0** is a specific electronic cooling component known as a **Heat Sink**. It is manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) and is part of their "push pin" series designed for high-performance thermal management in electronic circuits. ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of this part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Dimensions** | 45mm x 45mm x 10mm | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic/Brass) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 20.30° C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Fin Type** | Straight Fin | | **Series** | Blue Anodized Push-Pin | --- ### 2. Key Components & Design * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** The part typically comes with pre-applied **T766** thermal tape or grease, which ensures maximum heat transfer between the electronic component (CPU/GPU/FPGA) and the aluminum base. * **Push-Pin Mechanism:** It uses a spring-loaded push-pin design. This provides a consistent pressure (load) on the component, improving thermal conductivity while making installation easier and more reliable than adhesive tapes. * **Fin Geometry:** The straight-fin design is optimized for environments with consistent airflow (forced convection), allowing air to move through the channels and dissipate heat efficiently. ### 3. Common Applications This heat sink is generally found in the following electronic systems: * **Network Switches/Routers:** Cooling high-speed processing chips. * **Power Supplies:** Managing heat in voltage regulators. * **Embedded Systems:** Protecting FPGAs and Microcontrollers from thermal throttling. * **BGA Components:** Used specifically for Ball Grid Array (BGA) packages that require active or passive cooling. ### 4. Part Number Breakdown `ATS-06H-97-C2-R0` follows a specific nomenclature: * **ATS:** Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **06:** Fin height/designator. * **H:** Push-pin hole pattern/configuration. * **97:** Specific dimension/geometry code. * **C2:** Material/Color (Blue Anodized Aluminum). * **R0:** Revision or RoHS compliance status. ---
