The **ATS-06B-142-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "pushPIN™" series, designed for thermal management of electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other high-power ICs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number follows a specific nomenclature that defines its physical and thermal characteristics: | Property | Specification | Details | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 30.00 mm x 30.00 mm | Footprint size | | **Height** | 15.00 mm | Vertical clearance | | **Material** | Aluminum | Lightweight with high thermal conductivity | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | Increases surface area and provides corrosion resistance | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | Optimized for linear airflow | | **Thermal Resistance** | 10.07 °C/W (Unducted) | Measures cooling efficiency | --- ### 2. Mounting Mechanism: pushPIN™ This part uses a specific mechanical attachment system rather than thermal adhesive: * **Attachment Type:** Push-pin and Spring. * **Pin Material:** Brass or Plastic (depending on specific revision). * **Spring:** Steel, provides consistent pressure to ensure the thermal interface material (TIM) performs correctly. * **Hole Pattern:** Usually requires two holes drilled into the PCB at a pitch of **35.00 mm**. --- ### 3. Applications and Thermal Performance The **ATS-06B-142-C2-R0** is designed for high-density electronic assemblies where space is limited but heat dissipation is critical. * **Airflow Dependency:** Thermal resistance drops significantly as airflow (LFM - Linear Feet per Minute) increases. At 200 LFM, the resistance drops from ~10.07 °C/W to approximately ~4.70 °C/W. * **Target Components:** * Network Switches/Routers. * Embedded Computing modules. * Power converters (POL). * FPGA and ASIC cooling. --- ### 4.
