The **ATS-60003-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink assembly manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the "maxiFLOW™" series, specifically designed for cooling electronic components such as processors, FPGAs, and ASICs in high-density environments. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (Anodized Blue) | | **Attachment Method** | maxiGRIP™ (Frame Clip) | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 60mm x 60mm x 3mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 3.50 °C/W (at 200 LFM) | | **Fin Style** | Spread Fin (maxiFLOW™) | | **Compliance** | RoHS Compliant | --- ### 2. Core Electronic/Thermal Components The assembly is not just a block of metal; it consists of a specialized mechanical-electronic cooling system: #### A. maxiFLOW™ Fin Geometry The "C2" in the part number often refers to the specific profile of the fins. These fins are designed to maximize surface area while minimizing pressure drop. In electronic systems with limited airflow, this geometry transitions air from a concentrated source to a wider area, preventing "hot spots" on the silicon die. #### B. maxiGRIP™ Attachment System This is a critical mechanical part of the electronic assembly. It uses a **plastic frame clip** and a **stainless steel "steady-spring."** * **Purpose:** It applies constant, uniform pressure to the component without requiring holes in the PCB. * **Benefit:** Protects sensitive electronic solder balls (BGA) from mechanical stress and vibration. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "R0" suffix typically indicates the inclusion of a pre-applied thermal pad or specific packaging. This material fills the microscopic air gaps between the component (e.g., a CPU) and the heat sink to ensure efficient heat transfer. --- ### 3. Electronic Applications This part is typically integrated into the following electronic hardware: 1. **Telecommunications:** High-speed routers and switches where air velocity is high. 2. **Industrial Computing:** Embedded systems requiring passive cooling reliability. 3. **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or power modules that generate significant waste heat. ---
