The **ATS-04F-148-C3-R0** is a high-performance **heat sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It is designed specifically for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, and power transistors. ### Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions Inc. | | **Part Number** | ATS-04F-148-C3-R0 | | **Fin Style** | Push-Pin (High-Performance) | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 35mm x 35mm x 15mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 14.33°C/W (Unducted Flow) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | --- ### Key Electronic & Physical Features #### 1. Heat Dissipation Mechanism The device uses a **Cross-Cut fin design**, which allows for airflow from multiple directions. This is critical in cramped electronic enclosures where air may not flow in a single straight path. #### 2. Mounting System (Push-Pins) Unlike adhesive-based heat sinks, the "R0" series uses a **Push-Pin and Brass Spring** mechanism: * **Reliability:** Provides consistent pressure (clamping force) on the electronic component, ensuring maximum thermal contact. * **Safety:** Prevents the heat sink from shifting or falling off during high-vibration environments. #### 3. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The part typically comes pre-applied with **Chomerics T766**, a high-quality phase-change material. This fills the microscopic air gaps between the heat sink and the electronic chip to lower thermal impedance. #### 4. Material Efficiency The **Blue Anodized Aluminum** construction provides two benefits: * **Increased Surface Area:** The chemical process slightly increases the effective surface area for cooling. * **Corrosion Resistance:** Protects the aluminum from oxidation in humid industrial environments. --- ### Application Usage This part is commonly found in the following electronic systems: * **Networking Hardware:** Routers, switches, and high-speed modems. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or voltage regulators. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and automation controllers.
