The **ATS-03F-79-C3-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heatsink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed to dissipate heat from electronic integrated circuits (ICs) to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal characteristics of the part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Attachment Method** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 25mm x 25mm x 30mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 2.60°C/W (@ 100 LFM) | | **Airflow Direction** | Vertical / Omni-directional (Pin Fin) | --- ## 2. Key Component Features ### A. pushPIN™ Attachment System Unlike adhesive tapes or simple clips, this model uses a **pushPIN™** system. This provides: * **Constant Pressure:** Ensures a reliable interface between the heatsink and the component (CPU/GPU/Transistor). * **Secure Mounting:** Reduces the risk of the heatsink shifting during vibration or shipping. * **Standardized Holes:** Designed to fit industry-standard hole patterns on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). ### B. Pin-Fin Design The "F" in the part number often refers to the **Pin-Fin** geometry. * The cylindrical or square pins increase the surface area available for heat transfer. * The design is **omni-directional**, meaning it performs well regardless of which direction the cooling air is flowing across the board. ### C. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The "C3" designation in the part number typically indicates that the heatsink comes pre-applied with a high-performance thermal interface material (like T766), ensuring a low-resistance thermal path from the chip to the aluminum fins. --- ## 3. Applications This part is commonly found in the following electronic environments: 1. **Telecommunications:** Cooling high-speed processors in routers and switches. 2. **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where space is limited but vertical clearance is available (30mm height). 3. **Power Electronics:** Dissipating heat from MOSFETs or Power Management ICs (PMICs). ---
