The **ATS-01D-154-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or power transistors to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of this specific model: | Property | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Dimensions** | 40mm x 40mm x 15mm | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | | **Thermal Resistance** | 7.50°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 100 LFM) | | **Spring Type** | ATS-PPS-01 | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Features #### A. Attachment Mechanism (pushPIN™) The "R0" in the part number refers to the specific attachment kit. It uses a **Push-Pin** system with a compression spring. This ensures: * **Constant Pressure:** Prevents the heat sink from shifting and ensures optimal contact with the semiconductor. * **Ease of Assembly:** Fastens directly into pre-drilled holes in the PCB (Printed Circuit Board). #### B. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) This model comes pre-applied with **T766**, a high-performance Phase Change Material (PCM). * **Function:** It fills microscopic air gaps between the component die and the heat sink base. * **Benefit:** Reduces contact resistance, allowing heat to flow more efficiently. #### C. Aerodynamics The straight-fin design is optimized for **forced air cooling**. The spacing between the fins is engineered to minimize pressure drop while maximizing the surface area available for convection. --- ### 3. Application Examples This specific heat sink is typically used in the following electronic environments: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling of high-speed network switches. 2. **Embedded Computing:** Thermal management for ARM or x86 processors on industrial motherboards. 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from MOSFETs or voltage regulators in power supplies. ---
