The part number **ATS-01F-23-C2-R0** refers to a high-performance **Heatsink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of their "push-pin" series designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power semiconductors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of the component: | Feature | Specification | |:---|:---| | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions** | 60.00mm x 60.00mm | | **Height** | 15.00mm | | **Attachment Type** | Push-Pin (Brass, Plastic) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 12.00°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Fin Style** | Straight (Cross-cut for airflow efficiency) | --- ### 2. Electronic/Thermal Function This part acts as a **passive heat exchanger**. In an electronic circuit, its role is to: 1. **Conductivity:** Absorb thermal energy generated by a semiconductor (e.g., an FPGA or Power IC) through its base. 2. **Dissipation:** Transfer that heat into the surrounding air via its fin structure. 3. **Protection:** Keep the junction temperature of the electronic component below its maximum rating to prevent thermal throttling or permanent damage. --- ### 3. Decoding the Part Number Advanced Thermal Solutions uses a specific nomenclature to describe their parts: * **ATS:** Prefix for Advanced Thermal Solutions. * **01F:** Refers to the specific series and mounting hole pattern. * **23:** Indicates the physical size and fin density configuration. * **C2:** Refers to the **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)**. C2 typically indicates **T766** thermal grease or a specific phase-change material pre-applied to the base. * **R0:** Revision code (Standard). --- ### 4. Implementation Details When integrating this part onto a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), engineers must account for: * **Mounting Holes:** The PCB must have pre-drilled holes to accept the push-pin fasteners. * **Keep-out Zones:** The 60x60mm footprint must be clear of other tall electronic components (capacitors, inductors). * **Airflow Direction:** The straight fins are optimized for directional airflow provided by a system fan. ---
