The **ATS-01F-88-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 "push pin" series designed for securing the cooling element directly to a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of this specific part: | Characteristic | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 35mm x 35mm | | **Height** | 17.78mm | | **Attachment Type** | Push-Pin (Brass) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | | **Thermal Resistance** | 6.67°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Fin Style** | Straight Fin | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Components & Design The "Electronic Parts" involved in this assembly are not active circuits, but rather mechanical-electronic interfacing components: * **The Heat Sink Body:** Extruded aluminum designed with high-density fins to maximize surface area for heat dissipation from electronic components like BGA chips, FPGAs, or CPUs. * **Push-Pin Mounting:** Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, this uses brass push-pins that click into pre-drilled holes on the PCB. This ensures a consistent downward pressure (clamping force) on the semiconductor. * **Compression Springs:** These provide the necessary tension to maintain a tight seal between the heat sink and the electronic chip, preventing gaps that cause overheating. * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This specific model typically comes with **T766** pre-applied. This is a high-performance phase-change material that fills microscopic air gaps between the chip and the heat sink. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This part is commonly found in the following electronic environments: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling of networking processors. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Thermal regulation for industrial PC components. 3. **Power Electronics:** Managing heat in high-efficiency power supplies. --- ### 4.
