Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the key physical and thermal characteristics of this part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-01F-29-C3-R0 | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 7.60°C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 20mm | | **Base Shape** | Square | | **Fin Type** | Straight Fin | --- ### 2. Design and Functional Features #### **A. Material and Thermal Dissipation** The device is constructed from high-grade aluminum, which provides a balance between lightweight design and high thermal conductivity. The **Blue Anodized** finish is not just aesthetic; it increases surface emissivity to improve radiative heat transfer and protects the aluminum from corrosion. #### **B. Attachment Mechanism (Push-Pin)** The "F" and "R0" designations in the part number refer to the mounting hardware. * **Plastic Push-Pins:** These provide a secure, vibration-resistant attachment to the PCB. * **Compression Springs:** These ensure consistent pressure between the heat sink base and the electronic component (CPU, FPGA, or GPU), maximizing the effectiveness of the Thermal Interface Material (TIM). #### **C. Fin Orientation** This model utilizes a **Straight Fin** design. This is most effective in systems with a defined airflow direction (linear airflow), allowing the air to pass through the channels with minimal pressure drop. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This component is typically used in the following electronic sectors: * **Telecommunications:** Cooling for high-speed routers and switches. * **Computing:** Heat management for chipsets and integrated circuits. * **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from large MOSFETs or voltage regulators. --- ### 4.
