The **ATS-07A-25-C2-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically an **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)** push-pin heatsink designed for cooling integrated circuits (ICs) and other electronic components. ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the key electronic and physical properties of the component: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) | | **Product Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Heatsink Type** | Square, Blue Anodized | | **Dimensions** | 60.00mm x 60.00mm x 25.00mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 6.26 °C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Material** | Aluminum (AL6063) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic/Brass) | | **TIM (Thermal Interface Material)** | T766 (High Performance) | --- ### 2. Functional Description This part functions as a **Passive Cooling Device**. In the context of electronic design, its role is to dissipate heat generated by active components (like CPUs, FPGAs, or MOSFETs) into the surrounding air to prevent thermal throttling or hardware failure. #### Key Electronic Characteristics: * **Thermal Performance:** The "C2" in the part number indicates a high-performance thermal interface material (T766) is pre-applied. This lowers the contact resistance between the semiconductor package and the heatsink. * **Fin Design:** It utilizes a "cross-cut" or "straight fin" pattern (depending on the specific revision) optimized for specific airflow velocities (LFM - Linear Feet per Minute). * **Reliability:** The push-pin attachment system ensures a constant pressure (spring-loaded) on the electronic die, which is critical for maintaining consistent thermal conductivity over the lifespan of the device. ### 3. Part Number Breakdown The part number follows the ATS standard nomenclature: * **ATS:** Brand (Advanced Thermal Solutions). * **07:** Specific series/form factor. * **A:** Specific fin geometry or density. * **25:** Height of the heatsink in millimeters (25mm). * **C2:** Denotes the Thermal Interface Material (TIM) and finish type. * **R0:** Revision code. --- ### 4. Implementation in Circuitry When integrating this part into a PCB layout, engineers must account for: 1. **Hole Pattern:** The PCB must have pre-drilled holes to accommodate the push-pins. 2. **Clearance:** The 60mm x 60mm footprint requires a "keep-out" zone to ensure it doesn't short against tall capacitors or inductors. 3. **Airflow Direction:** Performance is dependent on the orientation of the fins relative to the system's cooling fans.
