The **ATS-07E-05-C2-R0** is a specific model of a **High-Performance Heat Sink** manufactured by **Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)**. It is part of their "push-pin" attachment series designed for cooling electronic components such as CPUs, GPUs, or high-power transistors. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The model number encodes specific physical and thermal characteristics. Here is the breakdown: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Material** | Aluminum (Blue Anodized) | | **Fin Type** | Straight Fin | | **Dimensions** | 40mm x 40mm x 25mm | | **Thermal Resistance** | 8.72°C/W @ 100 LFM | | **Attachment Method** | Push-Pin (Plastic or Brass) | | **Interface Material** | T766 (Thermal Tape/Grease equivalent) | --- ### 2. Component Design Features This heat sink is designed for **Forced Air Convection** (airflow from fans). Its electronic utility is defined by three main factors: #### A. Thermal Management Electronic parts like Integrated Circuits (ICs) generate heat. The ATS-07E-05-C2-R0 dissipates this heat to prevent **thermal throttling** or component failure. The "Straight Fin" design allows for low pressure drop, making it efficient in systems with steady airflow. #### B. Push-Pin Attachment Instead of using adhesive or solder, this part uses a mechanical push-pin system. * **Spring-loaded:** Ensures constant pressure on the electronic component for maximum thermal transfer. * **Pre-drilled holes:** Requires a specific PCB layout with holes spaced to match the pins. #### C. Material & Coating * **Aluminum 6063:** Provides a balance between thermal conductivity and weight. * **Blue Anodized Finish:** While primarily aesthetic, the anodization provides a layer of electrical insulation and increases "emissivity," slightly improving radiant heat transfer. --- ### 3. Typical Applications This specific size and thermal rating are commonly found in: * **Telecommunications:** Cooling ASICs in routers and switches. * **Embedded Systems:** Industrial PCs where space is limited but cooling is critical. * **Power Supplies:** Cooling MOSFETs or voltage regulators. ---
