The **ATS-06F-154-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "push pin" series designed to provide efficient cooling for electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Below are the primary mechanical and thermal characteristics of this specific part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions** | 40mm x 40mm x 20mm | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Brass) | | **Spring Type** | Compression Spring | | **Thermal Resistance** | 7.51°C/W (Unducted Flow @ 200 LFM) | | **Fin Style** | XCUT (Cross-Cut) | --- ### 2. Electronic/Thermal Performance Electronic parts like this function as **passive cooling devices**. The efficiency of the ATS-06F-154-C2-R0 is determined by its ability to move heat away from a semiconductor junction into the surrounding air. * **XCUT Fin Pattern:** The "XCUT" geometry creates a cross-cut pattern in the aluminum fins. This increases surface area and creates more turbulence in the airflow, which significantly improves thermal dissipation compared to straight-fin designs. * **Interface Material:** This specific model typically comes with **T766** pre-applied thermal interface material (TIM). This ensures there is no air gap between the chip and the heat sink, maximizing heat transfer. * **Thermal Resistance Curve:** * **@ 1.0 m/s (200 LFM):** 7.51 °C/W * **@ 2.0 m/s (400 LFM):** 4.43 °C/W * **@ 3.0 m/s (600 LFM):** 3.50 °C/W --- ### 3. Mounting and Compatibility The mounting system is critical for electronic stability and preventing mechanical stress on the PCB. * **Push-Pin Mechanism:** It uses a brass push-pin with a specific compression spring. This provides a consistent, pre-determined pressure (load) on the electronic component, ensuring the heat sink does not shift during vibration. * **Hole Pattern:** Designed for a specific pitch (distance between mounting holes) on the PCB. You must verify the board layout matches the 40mm footprint requirements. --- ### 4.
