The **ATS-07A-121-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the **pushPIN™** series, designed to provide efficient cooling for electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other high-heat integrated circuits. --- ## Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the key physical and thermal properties of this component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions** | 45mm x 45mm x 30mm | | **Attachment Type** | pushPIN™ (Spring-loaded) | | **Thermal Resistance (Unducted)** | 9.48 °C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Thermal Resistance (Ducted)** | 1.85 °C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Thermal Interface Material** | T766 (Pre-applied) | --- ## Core Electronic/Mechanical Components The assembly consists of four primary parts that work together to manage heat: ### 1. The Heat Sink Body The body is constructed from aluminum with a **Cross-Cut** fin design. This geometry allows for multi-directional airflow, making it versatile for systems where the air might not move in a single linear path. The **30mm height** provides a large surface area for heat dissipation. ### 2. pushPIN™ Attachment System Instead of using messy adhesives or simple clips, this model uses a specialized push-pin mechanism. * **Springs:** Provides consistent pressure (Pre-assembled with a 10-step compression cycle). * **Pins:** Usually made of brass or plastic, designed to lock into pre-drilled holes in the PCB. ### 3. Thermal Interface Material (TIM) The base is pre-applied with **T766**. This is a high-performance phase-change material or grease that fills the microscopic air gaps between the electronic component (die/package) and the heat sink base to maximize thermal conductivity. ### 4. Blue Anodized Finish The surface is chemically treated (anodized). This serves two purposes: * **Corrosion Resistance:** Protects the aluminum from oxidation. * **Emissivity:** Slightly improves the heat radiation capabilities of the metal surface. --- ## Application and Compatibility This part is typically used on **45mm x 45mm** square electronic packages. It is ideal for: * Networking hardware (Routers/Switches). * Industrial embedded systems. * High-speed power supplies.
