The **ATS-06D-86-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is specifically designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and power modules. ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary physical and thermal characteristics of this part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Dimensions** | 35.00mm x 35.00mm x 15.00mm | | **Attachment Type** | Push Pin (Plastic) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.50 °C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Fin Type** | Fine Pitch (Straight) | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Features The "ATS-06D-86-C2-R0" is part of the **pushPIN™** Heat Sink Assembly system. Its design focuses on three main electronic cooling requirements: #### A. Thermal Performance (Heat Dissipation) The "C2" in the part number indicates a specific thermal interface material (TIM). This unit usually comes pre-applied with **T766 phase change material**, which minimizes the thermal resistance between the heat source (the silicon chip) and the aluminum fins. #### B. Mounting Mechanism It utilizes a **Push-Pin** system with a compression spring. This is critical for electronics because: * It ensures consistent pressure across the chip surface. * The plastic pins prevent electrical conductivity/shorting near the mounting holes. * It is designed for easy installation on PCBs with pre-drilled holes. #### C. Airflow Optimization The fine-pitch straight fins are optimized for **forced air cooling**. In electronic enclosures where fans are present, the spacing allows for maximum surface area contact with the air while maintaining a low pressure drop. --- ### 3.
