The **ATS-19E-06-C2-R0** is a specific electronic cooling component manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of their "superGRIP" line of high-performance heat sinks. --- ### 1. Component Overview This part is a specialized **Heat Sink** designed to dissipate thermal energy from integrated circuits (ICs), such as CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs, that generate significant heat during operation. ### 2. Technical Specifications The part number encodes specific data regarding its physical and thermal characteristics: | Specification | Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | superGRIP (Clip-on) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 40mm x 40mm | | **Height** | 25mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | Approx. 2.01°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Flow Direction** | Straight Fin (Uni-directional) | --- ### 3. Key Electronic/Mechanical Features #### A. The superGRIP™ Attachment The "C2" in the part number refers to the attachment system. This system uses a high-strength plastic frame clip and a gold-plated spring steel clip. * **Mechanical Stability:** It provides high clip pressure to ensure a tight interface between the chip and the heat sink. * **No PCB Holes:** Unlike push-pin heat sinks, this does not require holes in the PCB, saving board space. #### B. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "R0" designation typically indicates that the part comes with a pre-applied **Phase Change Material** or specific thermal tape. This eliminates the need for manual application of thermal paste and ensures a low-resistance path for heat to move from the silicon to the aluminum fins. #### C. Fin Geometry This model uses **Straight Fins**. Straight fins are optimized for systems with a clear "wind tunnel" or forced-air cooling (fans), as they allow air to flow through the channels with minimal pressure drop. --- ### 4. Applications * **Telecommunications:** Used in routers and switches. * **Embedded Computing:** Cooling high-speed processors on small form-factor boards. * **Power Supplies:** Dissipating heat from power-dense transistors.
