Technical Specifications The following table highlights the core physical and thermal characteristics of the part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Type** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Dimensions** | 45.00mm x 45.00mm x 25.00mm | | **Fin Style** | Fine Pitch (Rectangular) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.03 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Flow Orientation** | Vertical / Omni-directional | --- ### 2. Key Features and Design The "06" in the part number indicates a specific fin pattern and height configuration within the ATS product line. * **Fine Pitch Fins:** The heat sink features a high density of fins to maximize surface area, allowing for efficient heat dissipation in both natural and forced convection environments. * **Push-Pin Attachment:** Instead of messy adhesives or thermal tape, it uses a mechanical push-pin system with a compression spring. This ensures constant, uniform pressure on the electronic component, which improves thermal interface performance. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes pre-applied with **T412** thermal grease, ensuring a high-quality bond between the heat source and the sink out of the box. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This part is commonly used in high-reliability industrial and computing sectors: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling of high-speed networking processors. 2. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from MOSFETs and voltage regulators. 3. **Embedded Systems:** Protecting compact PC boards where airflow may be restricted. --- ### 4.
