The **ATS-02F-07-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by *Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)*. It belongs to the **pushPIN™** series, designed for efficient heat dissipation from integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronic components. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table highlights the core physical and thermal properties of this specific model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Dimensions (L x W)** | 45mm x 45mm | | **Height** | 12.7mm | | **Pitch (Fins)** | Fine Pitch | | **Thermal Resistance** | 17.00 °C/W (@ 100 LFM) | --- ### 2. Key Features & Components #### A. Fin Design The "F" in the part number signifies a **Fine Pitch** fin pattern. This increases the total surface area relative to the footprint, allowing for better heat transfer in systems with moderate to high airflow. #### B. Attachment Mechanism (pushPIN™) Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, this model uses a mechanical mounting system: * **Brass Components:** The pins are typically made of brass or plastic with a stainless steel spring. * **Compression Springs:** These provide precise, uniform pressure (Force) across the interface, ensuring optimal contact with the heat source. #### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part number suffix (`-R0`) often indicates the presence of a pre-applied **Thermal Interface Material (T766)**. This fills microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the chip, significantly reducing thermal impedance. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This component is generally used in environments where space is limited but cooling demands are high: * **Networking:** Routers, switches, and high-speed modems. * **Computing:** Northbridge/Southbridge chipsets on motherboards. * **Industrial:** Embedded controllers and power modules. --- ### 4. Thermal Performance Data Performance varies based on the Airflow (Measured in Linear Feet per Minute - LFM): | Velocity (LFM) | Thermal Resistance (°C/W) | | :--- | :--- | | 100 (0.5 m/s) | 17.00 | | 300 (1.5 m/s) | 6.30 | | 500 (2.5 m/s) | 4.30 |
