The **ATS-01D-24-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heatsink** designed for cooling integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronic packages. It is manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS)*. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the key physical and thermal characteristics of this part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Dimensions** | 60mm x 60mm x 25mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight (Fine Pitch) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 0.88° C/W (@ 1.0 m/s airflow) | | **RoHS Status** | Compliant | --- ### 2. Design and Component Features #### A. The pushPIN™ Attachment System One of the defining electronic-mechanical features of the `-R0` series is the **pushPIN™** mechanism. This allows for: * **Constant Pressure:** A brass or plastic pin with a pre-calculated compression spring ensures the heatsink maintains a firm, even contact with the electronic component (CPU/GPU/FPGA). * **Ease of Assembly:** It eliminates the need for messy adhesives or complex screw-down procedures, reducing the risk of mechanical stress on the PCB. #### B. Thermal Performance In high-power electronics, heat is the primary cause of failure. The ATS-01D-24-C2-R0 is designed with a **straight-fin** geometry. This is optimized for **forced air cooling** (environments with fans). The blue anodized finish is not just for aesthetics; it increases surface emissivity, slightly improving radiation heat transfer. #### C. Material Choice (Aluminum 6063) Aluminum is used because it offers a high thermal conductivity-to-weight ratio. This prevents the "sagging" of electronic boards that might occur with heavier copper heatsinks while still effectively drawing heat away from the silicon die. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This specific part size (60mm) and height (25mm) is typically found in: * **Telecommunications Equipment:** High-speed routers and switches. * **Industrial Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or IGBT modules. * **Server/Computing:** Secondary cooling for chipsets or high-performance voltage regulators.
