The **ATS-07D-116-C2-R0** is a high-performance heat sink manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of the **blueICE™** series, specifically designed for cooling electronic components like CPUs, GPUs, and other high-heat-generating integrated circuits. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the physical and thermal properties of the component: | Feature | Specification | |:---|:---| | **Manufacturer** | Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) | | **Series** | pushPIN™ / blueICE™ | | **Material** | Aluminum | | **Finish** | Blue Anodized | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic) | | **Dimension (L x W x H)** | 40.00 mm x 40.00 mm x 25.00 mm | | **Thermal Resistance (Flow)** | 4.14 °C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Thermal Resistance (Static)** | 1.15 °C/W @ 700 LFM | | **Weight** | 0.12 lbs (approx. 54g) | --- ### 2. Design Characteristics #### **A. Fin Profile** The part features a **Straight-Fin** design. This is optimized for high-airflow environments where air moves in a single direction. The fins provide a large surface area for heat dissipation without creating excessive backpressure. #### **B. Attachment System (pushPIN™)** Instead of using messy thermal adhesives or complex brackets, this part uses a **pushPIN™** system: * **Spring-loaded:** Ensures even pressure across the chip surface for better thermal contact. * **Easy Installation:** No specialized tools are required; the pins snap into pre-drilled holes on the PCB. #### **C. Interface Material** The unit usually comes with a pre-applied **Thermal Interface Material (TIM)** or is compatible with standard thermal pads/paste to bridge the gap between the heat source and the aluminum base. --- ### 3. Usage & Application The ATS-07D-116-C2-R0 is typically used in the following electronic environments: 1. **Networking Hardware:** Routers, switches, and high-speed modems. 2. **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or power regulators. 3. **Industrial PCs:** Compact computing modules that require passive or active cooling. --- ### 4.
