The **ATS-07B-101-C3-R0** is a high-performance electronic thermal management component, specifically a **Heat Sink** manufactured by Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS). It belongs to the "push-pin" series designed for cooling small electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors. --- ## Technical Specifications The following table details the physical and thermal characteristics of this specific part: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Dimensions (L x W x H)** | 45mm x 45mm x 30mm | | **Fin Style** | Straight (Cross-cut) | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Thermal Resistance** | 6.70°C/W (at 100 LFM) | | **Interface Material** | T412 (Thermal Grease / Tape) | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | --- ## Key Components and Features ### 1. Thermal Performance (C3) The "C3" in the part number indicates the thermal performance category under specific airflow conditions. This heat sink is designed for **high-efficiency heat dissipation** in forced-air environments. ### 2. Push-Pin Attachment Instead of using screws or adhesives, this part utilizes a **plastic push-pin and spring mechanism**. - **Pros:** Provides consistent pressure on the electronic chip, ensuring better thermal contact. - **Ease of Use:** Allows for tool-free installation and removal on pre-drilled PCBs. ### 3. Material and Coating - **Aluminum:** Chosen for its excellent weight-to-thermal conductivity ratio. - **Blue Anodized Finish:** This is not just for aesthetics; anodizing increases the surface emissivity and protects the aluminum from corrosion. ### 4. Cross-Cut Fin Design The fins are designed to be "straight-cut," which allows air to flow through the heat sink from multiple directions. This makes it ideal for systems where the airflow direction might be unpredictable or restricted. --- ## Typical Applications This component is typically found in: * **Networking Hardware:** Routers, switches, and modems. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs and controllers. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling voltage regulators and MOSFETs. * **Telecom:** Base station electronics.
