The **ATS-01A-75-C3-R0** is a specific electronic cooling component manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is a high-performance heat sink designed for the thermal management of electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature used by ATS to define its physical and thermal characteristics. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Fin Type** | Straight Fin | | **Attachment Method** | Clip-On (push pin or similar mechanism) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 25mm x 25mm x 30mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | Approx. 5.10 °C/W (at 200 LFM) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Components & Design While the heat sink itself is passive, its design is engineered for specific electronic environments: * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This part usually comes with a pre-applied high-performance thermal pad or requires thermal paste to bridge the microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the electronic chip. * **Fin Geometry:** The straight-fin design is optimized for **forced air cooling** (fans). It allows air to flow through the channels to dissipate heat extracted from the semiconductor junction. * **Anodized Coating:** The blue anodization is not just for aesthetics; it provides electrical insulation and improves surface emissivity, aiding in radiative heat transfer. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases The ATS-01A-75-C3-R0 is commonly used in the following electronic assemblies: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling of signal processing chips in base stations. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Protecting microcontrollers in industrial automation. 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from Voltage Regulators or MOSFETs to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. --- ### 4. Part Number Breakdown The suffixing in the part number provides additional details: * **ATS:** Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **01A:** Series designation. * **75:** Specific height/dimension code. * **C3:** Material/Finish code (Blue Anodized). * **R0:** Revision or packaging standard.
