The **ATS-06D-34-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is part of the "pushPIN™" series, designed for localized cooling of electronic chips such as CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. ### 1. Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Part Number** | ATS-06D-34-C2-R0 | | **Attachment Type** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Fin Type** | Cross-Cut (Square pins) | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized Finish) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 1.83 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Dimensions** | 35mm x 35mm x 25mm | --- ### 2. Key Component Features #### A. The Fin Design (Cross-Cut) The "34" in the part number refers to a specific geometry. This heat sink uses a **cross-cut** pattern, which creates many small square pins. * **Advantage:** This allows for "omni-directional" airflow, meaning the cooling efficiency is maintained regardless of which direction the fan is blowing across the PCB. #### B. The pushPIN™ Attachment System Instead of using messy thermal adhesives or simple clips, this part uses a **pushPIN™** mechanism: * **Spring-loaded:** It uses a high-tension spring to ensure a consistent, pre-measured pressure (force) against the electronic component. * **Reliability:** This prevents the heat sink from shifting during mechanical vibration or thermal expansion. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C2" suffix typically indicates that the part comes pre-applied with a high-performance **Thermal Interface Material**. This is the "glue" or "grease" that bridges the microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the chip to maximize heat transfer. --- ### 3. Dimensional Analysis Understanding the physical footprint is critical for PCB layout: * **Width/Length:** 35mm x 35mm (Fits mid-sized integrated circuits). * **Height:** 25mm (This is a relatively tall heat sink, providing more surface area but requiring vertical clearance in the chassis). * **Pitch:** The hole-to-hole distance for the push pins is standard for its size category to ensure compatibility with industry-standard PCB hole patterns. --- ### 4. Environmental & Material Compliance * **RoHS Status:** Fully compliant (Lead-free). * **Finish:** Blue Anodized, which provides moderate corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal.
