The **ATS-01G-159-C1-R0** is a high-performance **Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. It belongs to the **pushPIN™** series, designed specifically for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, and other integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of this specific model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 45mm x 45mm | | **Height** | 10mm (Low Profile) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 10.68°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Fin Pattern** | Fine Pitch (Square Pin) | | **Attachment Type** | pushPIN™ | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Features #### A. Thermal Management The primary electronic role of this part is **heat dissipation**. By increasing the surface area through its "Fine Pitch" square pin design, it facilitates better airflow and convective cooling. This prevents thermal throttling and component failure in high-density electronic assemblies. #### B. PushPIN™ Attachment System Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, this part uses a mechanical fastening system: * **Compression Spring:** Ensures precise, uniform pressure across the thermal interface material (TIM). * **Plastic/Brass Push Pins:** Provides secure mounting to the PCB via pre-drilled holes. #### C. Compatibility The "C1" in the part number indicates the thermal interface material (TIM) used. This model typically comes pre-applied with **T766 phase-change material**, which offers high thermal conductivity between the electronic chip and the aluminum base. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This component is typically used in the following electronic sectors: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling of high-speed networking chips. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Protecting processors in compact industrial PCs. 3. **Power Electronics:** Managing heat for VRMs (Voltage Regulator Modules).
