The **ATS-06G-33-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic surface-mount devices like CPUs, GPUs, or FPGAs. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary mechanical and thermal specifications for this part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 36.83mm x 36.83mm x 17.78mm | | **Fin Style** | Fine-Pitch (Cross-Cut) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 17.42° C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Flow Direction** | Vertical/Omni-directional | --- ### 2. Electronic Component Breakdown #### A. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "R0" suffix in the part number indicates that the heat sink comes pre-applied with **T766 phase-change material**. This is a non-conductive thermal grease/pad that fills microscopic air gaps between the electronic chip and the heat sink base to ensure maximum heat transfer. #### B. The pushPIN™ Attachment Unlike adhesive tapes, this part uses a mechanical spring-loaded pin system. * **Springs:** High-reliability stainless steel or brass springs. * **Compression:** Provides consistent pressure on the electronic package, improving thermal contact without damaging the PCB. #### C. Fin Geometry The "G" in the part number refers to the specific cross-cut fin design. This allows for: * **Omni-directional Airflow:** It can dissipate heat effectively regardless of which way the cooling fan is blowing. * **High Surface Area:** The fine-pitch fins maximize the area available for convection. --- ### 3. Usage Context This part is commonly found in the following electronic applications: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling of high-speed network switches. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where space is limited but heat density is high. 3. **Power Supplies:** Managing heat for MOSFETs or power regulators. --- ### 4. Part Number Decoding The part number follows the standard ATS nomenclature: * **ATS:** Manufacturer (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **06:** Series/Fin Height. * **G:** Fin pattern/Type. * **33:** Specific dimension code. * **C2:** Material/Finish (Aluminum/Blue Anodized). * **R0:** Packaging and Thermal Interface type.
