The **ATS-06F-183-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "pushPIN™" series, designed for effective thermal management of electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, and other high-heat integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum (Lightweight and conductive) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 5.37°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Flow Pattern** | Cross-cut (Fine pitch) | --- ### 2. Physical Dimensions The physical footprint is critical for PCB layout planning: | Dimension | Measurement | | :--- | :--- | | **Length/Width** | 40.00 mm x 40.00 mm | | **Height** | 20.00 mm | | **Mounting Hole Spacing** | 45.00 mm | | **Weight** | ~40.5 grams | --- ### 3. Key Electronic/Mechanical Features * **Thermal Interface Material (TIM):** This part comes pre-applied with **T766**, a high-performance thermal grease that ensures optimal heat transfer from the component to the heat sink base. * **Push-Pin Attachment:** The "C2" in the part number indicates a specific push-pin and spring kit. This mechanism provides consistent pressure (preload) against the electronic component, which is vital for maintaining thermal contact under vibration or thermal cycling. * **Cross-Cut Fin Design:** The fins are designed in a cross-cut pattern. This is electronically beneficial because it allows for "omni-directional" airflow, meaning it can dissipate heat effectively regardless of which direction the system fan is blowing. ### 4.
